We can get the measurement of the arc by determining first the radius of the circle. The circumference of a circle is equal to 2 * pi * radius. Hence from a 12 unit2 circumferenced circle, the radius is 1.91 units.Length of the arc is equal to radius times the angle in radians. 60 deg is equal to pi over 3. The length of the arc is equal to 2 units.
