Lecture

Arc Length Approximation

Description

This lecture covers the calculation of arc length for curves given by explicit equations, inscribing polygons in circles, and the arc length of the cycloid. It explores the approximation of arc length using infinite sums and the use of trigonometry to calculate lengths. The instructor demonstrates the application of parametric equations and Cartesian forms to determine arc lengths.
