BUG: ArrowDtype Series: Broadcasting Error with Single-Value Arrays in Arithmetic Operations

[hombit]

Pandas version checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import pyarrow as pa

series = pd.Series([1.0, 2.0, 3.0], dtype=pd.ArrowDtype(pa.float64()))
series / np.array([2.0])
# ArrowInvalid: Array arguments must all be the same length

Issue Description

When performing arithmetic operations between a Series of ArrowDtype and a single-value array, the array is not broadcasted to match the series shape. Instead, it raises an ArrowInvalid error. This behavior is inconsistent, as the same operation works correctly with both default and numpy-nullable dtypes.

A solution could be casting a single-element array to a pa.Scalar in ArrowExtensionArray._evaluate_op_method:

pandas/pandas/core/arrays/arrow/array.py

Line 755 in 2a10e04

def _evaluate_op_method(self, other, op, arrow_funcs) -> Self:

Expected Behavior

The code doesn't fail, and behavior to be consistent over different dtype back-ends
