Quarter Circle Perimeter Calculator

The quarter circle perimeter calculator is one of the many other tools that we have made just for you shape enthusiasts. The quarter of a circle is a shape that might need your attention as there is much to know about it. Here we will be discussing its perimeter.

• What is a quarter circle?
• How to calculate the perimeter of a quarter circle? and
• The formula for the perimeter of a quarter of a circle.

These are some important topics of focus for this article.

The quarter of a circle is a shape you get when you divide a circle into four equal parts. It's very similar to the sector of a circle, with the only difference being that its central angle is always 90°. This is because you divide the circle into four pieces. The complete angle of the circle is 360°, so if you divide 360 by four, it gives 90. The quarter of the circle is also called 1/4^th of a circle.

Its perimeter, like any other shape, is its boundary.

The quarter of a circle perimeter tool is your best bet when it comes to finding the answers with minimal effort.
All we ask from you is the radius of the circle's quarter, which in this case can also be its base. And we will give you the perimeter and, as a bonus, also the arc length.

So, maybe you are practicing your baking skills, as we all do, at some point in our lives. You decided to make a quarter circle-shaped cake instead of a whole circle (which would look so cool by the way). Now you want to cover the border,which is the perimeter, of the cake with fondant.

Say your side of the cake, which is the radius, measures $10 \text{ cm}$.
Input 10 cm as radius in our tool and the result is, $35.71 \text{ cm}$ perimeter.

Now you wrap your cake in exact measurement of fondant.

The formula for a quarter of a circle perimeter is:

$P = L + 2 \times r$

where:

• $P$ - The perimeter of the quarter circle;
• $L$ - The arc length of the quarter circle; and
• $r$ - The radius of the quarter circle.

As you can see the perimeter formula depends on the arc length formula which is:

$L = \pi \times \frac{r}{2}$

Now let's put it to words and understand how to calculate the perimeter of a quarter circle.

As you can see the formulae are fairly simple to. We know the central angle, hence the only measurement needed is the radius. π times the radius divided by 2 is the arc length.

The next step is to substitute the arc length in to the perimeter formula. Arc length added to 2 times the radius is the perimeter.
