What is a Circular Arc?

Circular Arc is basically a piece of the circumference of a circle. More specifically it is a curve cut from the boundary of a circle in a particular central angle, which is the angle subtended by the end points of the curve with respect to the center of the circle. Any two points on a circle will give a pair of supplementary arcs. Out of them, the larger arc is called major arc and the smaller arc is called minor arc.

What is Circle?

A Circle is a basic two dimensional geometric shape which is defined as the collection of all points on a plane which are in a fixed distance from a fixed point. The fixed point is called the center of the Circle and the fixed distance is called the radius of the Circle. When two radii become collinear, that combined length is called the diameter of the Circle. That is, diameter is the length of the line segment inside the Circle which pass through the center and it will be two times the radius.
