What is the arc length of an angle of π/3 radians formed on the unit circle?

The arc length of an angle in a circle can be found using the formula:

Arc Length = r × θ

Where:

  • r is the radius of the circle
  • θ is the angle in radians

Since we are talking about the unit circle, the radius (r) is 1. Therefore, the formula simplifies to:

Arc Length = 1 × θ = θ

In this case, the angle θ is π/3 radians. So the arc length is:

Arc Length = π/3

Thus, the arc length of an angle of π/3 radians formed on the unit circle is π/3 units.
