The length a of the arc is a fraction of the length of the circumference which is 2 π r. In fact the fraction is a/2πr
The angle t is a fraction of the central angle of the circle which is 360 degrees. It's the same fraction. Thus
t = 360 × a/2πr
degrees.
S is the midpoint of RQ so |SQ| = c/2 and the measure of the angle SPQ is
t/2.
Also QSP is a right angle so
sin(t/2)= |SQ|/r.
Hence
|SQ| = r × sin(t/2)
and thus
c = 2 × r × sin(t/2).
