Lesson 9: Arc Length and Areas of Sectors
Student Outcomes
When students are provided with the angle measure of the arc and the length of the radius of the circle, they understand how to determine the length of an arc and the area of a sector.
Lesson Notes This lesson explores the following geometric definitions:
ARC: An arc is any of the following three figuresโa minor arc, a major arc, or a semicircle.
LENGTH OF AN ARC: The length of an arc is the circular distance around the arc.1
MINOR AND MAJOR ARC: In a circle with center ๐๐, let ๐ด๐ด and ๐ต๐ต be different points that lie on the circle but are not the endpoints of a diameter. The minor arc between ๐ด๐ด and ๐ต๐ต is the set containing ๐ด๐ด, ๐ต๐ต, and all points of the circle that are in the interior of โ ๐ด๐ด๐๐๐ต๐ต. The major arc is the set containing ๐ด๐ด, ๐ต๐ต, and all points of the circle that lie in the exterior of โ ๐ด๐ด๐๐๐ต๐ต.
RADIAN: A radian is the measure of the central angle of a sector of a circle with arc length of one radius length.
SECTOR: Let arc ๐ด๐ด๐ต๐ต๏ฟฝ be an arc of a circle with center ๐๐ and radius ๐๐. The union of the segments ๐๐๐๐, where ๐๐ is any point on the arc ๐ด๐ด๐ต๐ต๏ฟฝ , is called a sector. The arc ๐ด๐ด๐ต๐ต๏ฟฝ is called the arc of the sector, and ๐๐ is called its radius.
SEMICIRCLE: In a circle, let ๐ด๐ด and ๐ต๐ต be the endpoints of a diameter. A semicircle is the set containing ๐ด๐ด, ๐ต๐ต, and all points of the circle that lie in a given half-plane of the line determined by the diameter.
Classwork
Opening (2 minutes)
In Lesson 7, we studied arcs in the context of the degree measure of arcs and how those measures are determined.
Today we examine the actual length of the arc, or arc length. Think of arc length in the following way: If we laid a piece of string along a given arc and then measured it against a ruler, this length would be the arc length.
1 This definition uses the undefined term distance around a circular arc (G-CO.A.1). In grade 4, student might use wire or string to find the length of an arc.

Example 1 (12 minutes)
Discuss the following exercise with a partner.
Example 1
a. What is the length of the arc of degree measure ๐๐๐๐ห in a circle of radius ๐๐๐๐ cm?
๐จ๐จ๐จ๐จ๐จ๐จ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ =๐๐๐๐
(๐๐๐๐ ร ๐๐๐๐)
๐จ๐จ๐จ๐จ๐จ๐จ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ =๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
The marked arc length is ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
cm.
Encourage students to articulate why their computation works. Students should be able to describe that the arc length is a fraction of the entire circumference of the circle, and that fractional value is determined by the arc degree measure divided by 360ห. This will help them generalize the formula for calculating the arc length of a circle with arc degree measure ๐ฅ๐ฅห and radius ๐๐.
b. Given the concentric circles with center ๐จ๐จ and with ๐๐โ ๐จ๐จ = ๐๐๐๐ยฐ, calculate the arc length intercepted by โ ๐จ๐จ on each circle. The inner circle has a radius of ๐๐๐๐ and each circle has a radius ๐๐๐๐ units greater than the previous circle.
Arc length of circle with radius ๐จ๐จ๐จ๐จ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ = ๏ฟฝ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๏ฟฝ (๐๐๐๐)(๐๐๐๐) = ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Arc length of circle with radius ๐จ๐จ๐จ๐จ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ = ๏ฟฝ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๏ฟฝ (๐๐๐๐)(๐๐๐๐) = ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Arc length of circle with radius ๐จ๐จ๐จ๐จ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ = ๏ฟฝ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๏ฟฝ (๐๐๐๐)(๐๐๐๐) = ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ = ๐๐๐๐๐๐
c. An arc, again of degree measure ๐๐๐๐ห, has an arc length of ๐๐๐๐ cm. What is the radius of the circle on which the arc sits?
๐๐๐๐
(๐๐๐๐ ร ๐จ๐จ) = ๐๐๐๐
๐๐๐๐๐จ๐จ = ๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐จ๐จ = ๐๐๐๐
The radius of the circle on which the arc sits is ๐๐๐๐ cm.
Notice that provided any two of the following three pieces of informationโthe radius, the central angle (or arc degree measure), or the arc lengthโwe can determine the third piece of information.
MP.1
Scaffolding: Prompts to help struggling
students along: If we can describe arc
length as the length of the string that is laid along an arc, what is the length of string laid around the entire circle? (The circumference, 2๐๐๐๐)
What portion of the entire circle is the arc measure 60ห? ( 60
360= 1
6; the arc
measure tells us that the arc length is 1
6 of the length
of the entire circle.)

d. Give a general formula for the length of an arc of degree measure ๐๐ห on a circle of radius ๐จ๐จ.
Arc length = ๏ฟฝ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๏ฟฝ๐๐๐๐๐จ๐จ
e. Is the length of an arc intercepted by an angle proportional to the radius? Explain.
Yes, the arc angle length is a constant ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
times the radius when x is a constant angle measure, so it is
proportional to the radius of an arc intercepted by an angle.
Support parts (a)โ(d) with these follow up questions regarding arc lengths. Draw the corresponding figure with each question as you pose the question to the class.
From the belief that for any number between 0 and 360, there is an angle of that measure, it follows that for any length between 0 and 2๐๐๐๐, there is an arc of that length on a circle of radius ๐๐.
Additionally, we drew a parallel with the 180ห protractor axiom (โangles addโ) in Lesson 7 with respect to arcs. For example, if we have arcs ๐ด๐ด๐ต๐ต๏ฟฝ and ๐ต๐ต๐ต๐ต๏ฟฝ as in the following figure, what can we conclude about ๐๐๐ด๐ด๐ต๐ต๐ต๐ต๏ฟฝ?
๐๐๐ด๐ด๐ต๐ต๏ฟฝ = ๐๐๐ด๐ด๐ต๐ต๏ฟฝ + ๐๐๐ต๐ต๐ต๐ต๏ฟฝ We can draw the same parallel with arc lengths. With respect to the same figure, we can say:
arc length๏ฟฝ๐ด๐ด๐ต๐ต๏ฟฝ ๏ฟฝ = arc length๏ฟฝ๐ด๐ด๐ต๐ต๏ฟฝ ๏ฟฝ + arc length๏ฟฝ๐ต๐ต๐ต๐ต๏ฟฝ ๏ฟฝ
Then, given any minor arc, such as minor arc ๐ด๐ด๐ต๐ต๏ฟฝ , what must the sum of a minor arc and its corresponding major arc (in this example major arc ๐ด๐ด๐ด๐ด๐ต๐ต๏ฟฝ ) sum to? The sum of their arc lengths is the entire circumference of the circle, or
2๐๐๐๐.
What is the possible range of lengths of any arc length? Can an arc length have a length of 0? Why or why not?
No, an arc has, by definition, two different endpoints. Hence, its arc length is always greater than zero.
Can an arc length have the length of the circumference, 2๐๐๐๐?

Students may disagree about this. Confirm that an arc length refers to a portion of a full circle. Therefore, arc lengths fall between 0 and 2๐๐๐๐; 0 < ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐โ < 2๐๐๐๐.
In part (a), the arc length is 10๐๐3
. Look at part (b). Have students calculate the arc length as the central angle stays the same, but the radius of the circle changes. If students write out the calculations, they will see the relationship and constant of proportionality that we are trying to discover through the similarity of the circles.
What variable is determining arc length as the central angle remains constant? Why?
The radius determines the size of the circle because all circles are similar.
Is the length of an arc intercepted by an angle proportional to the radius? If so, what is the constant of proportionality?
Yes, 2๐๐๐๐360
or ๐๐๐๐180
, where ๐ฅ๐ฅ is a constant angle measure in degree, the constant of proportionality is ๐๐
180.
What is the arc length if the central angle has a measure of 1ยฐ?
๐๐180
What we have just shown is that for every circle, regardless of the radius length, a central angle of 1ยฐ produces an arc of length ๐๐
180. Repeat that with me.
For every circle, regardless of the radius length, a central angle of 1ยฐ produces an arc of length ๐๐180
.
Mathematicians have used this relationship to define a new angle measure, a radian. A radian is the measure of the central angle of a sector of a circle with arc length of one radius length. Say that with me.
A radian is the measure of the central angle of a sector of a circle with arc length of one radius length.
So 1ยฐ = ๐๐180
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐. What does 180ยฐ equal in radian measure?
๐๐ radians. What does 360ยฐ or a rotation through a full circle equal in radian measure?
2๐๐ radians.
Notice, this is consistent with what we found above.

๐๐ (๐๐(๐๐๐๐)๐๐); the area of the circle times the arc measure divided by ๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐จ๐จ๐จ๐จ๐๐๐๐(๐๐๐๐๐จ๐จ๐๐๐๐๐จ๐จ ๐จ๐จ๐ถ๐ถ๐จ๐จ) =๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
The area of the sector ๐จ๐จ๐ถ๐ถ๐จ๐จ is ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
