Answer:

Explanation:

This problem does not specify what the radius of the circle is, and so we will have to represent that by r.

Arc length = s = rФ, where Ф is the central angle in radians.

Converting 162° into radians:

162° 1 rad

------- · ------------ = 0.9 rad

1 180°

Then the arc length BC is s = rФ, or r(0.9 rad)

If, for example, r = 10 m, then the arc length would be (10)(0.9) m = 9 m
