ExplanationThe distance that separates two points along a curve section is called arc length. Curve rectification approximates an irregular arc segment as connected line segments to determine its length. 
The equation for the arc length of a circle is:
﻿
Arc Length=L=θ∗rArc \space Length = L = \theta*rArc Length=L=θ∗r

The equation for the area of the sector it creates is:
﻿
Area of Sector=θ∗r22Area \space of \space Sector = θ*\frac{r^2}{2}Area of Sector=θ∗2r2​
Where θ is the central angle in radians and r is the radius of the circle.
