A doubt in Heat chapter Question regarding thermal expansion of a bi-metallic strip

I was reading about bimetallicbi-metallic strips and came to know that on heating it forms an arc like shape. I also read a sentence that said the radius of such an arc can also be calculated which will be taught in the future grades. So I just wanted to know if there is any direct formula to find the radius of curvature? 
Also, I think it can be found out using A=l/r$A=l/r$ where A$A$ is the angle subtended. But then again, how can the angle be found? So what is the formula for radius?
