Answer: 2.62 unit (approx)

Explanation:

Since, the length of an arc of a circle = Radius × Central angle by the arc on the circle( In radian )

Here the radius = 2 unit

And, the central angle by the arc on the circle = 75°


\text{Since } 180^(\circ) = \pi \text{ radian}


\implies 1^(\circ) = (\pi)/(180)\text{ radian}


\implies 75^(\circ) = (75\pi)/(180)\text{ radian}= (5\pi)/(12)\text{ radian}


\implies \text{ The central angle of the given arc} = (5\pi)/(12)\text{ radian}


\text{ Thus, } \text{The length of the given arc} = 2 * (5\pi)/(12)


= (5\pi)/(6)


= 2.61799388\text{ unit}\approx 2.62\text{ unit}
