Definition
In mathematics, the measurement of the distance along a curved line or arc, rather than a straight line between two points.
Etymology
From 'arc' + 'length'; a compound mathematical term that emerged in calculus to describe the measurement of curves, particularly important after Newton and Leibniz developed calculus.
Kelly Says
Arc length is why we need calculus—you can't just use a ruler to measure the edge of a circle, so mathematicians invented methods to calculate the exact length of curves, which turns out to be super useful for engineering and physics.
