An arc length represents a portion of the entire circumference of a circle with 360˚.
The circumference of a circle is defined by the formula: `C = 2pir`
A circle with a radius of 1 has a circumference of:
`C = 2pi*1 = 2pi`
Therefore the arc length would be:
`210/360* 2pi = (7pi)/6` or 3.67 units
A circle with a radius of 2 has a circumference of:
`C=2pi*2 = 4pi`
Therefore the arc length would be:
`210/360* 4pi = (7pi)/3` or 7.33 units
The radian measures are given respectively as:
`(7pi)/6` and `(7pi)/3` as previously found when calculating units.
