The length of an arc subtended by a central angle and 2 radii is
[tex]S=r\theta[/tex]Where:
r is the radius
Cita is the central angle in radian
Since the radius of the circle is 8 inches, then
[tex]r=8[/tex]Since the arc is subtended by a central angle of 135 degrees, then
[tex]\begin{gathered} \theta=135\times\frac{\pi}{180} \\ \theta=\frac{3}{4}\pi \end{gathered}[/tex]Substitute them in the rule above
[tex]\begin{gathered} S=8\times\frac{3}{4}\pi \\ S=6\pi \end{gathered}[/tex]The length of the arc is 6pi
We will find it in 2 decimal places
[tex]\begin{gathered} S=6\pi \\ S=18.85 \end{gathered}[/tex]The length of the arc is 18.85 inches
