How do you find the length of an arc? not the angle measure the length

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

\[l = r \theta\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you explain that formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't have the radian. (I think that's what it's called)

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

|dw:1430860424632:dw| In a circle, the radius, the arc length (which is L), and the central angle are related by that formula I showed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the circle with the line through it is the central angle? or something else

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hello?

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

The arc length subtends the central angle.
