I believe your mistake is that you are trying to use the sector area formula ti find arc length when there is already a formula for it.
The formula for it is

2r\pi( (degree)/(360) )
So first substitute the values in and then simplify!

2(10.5)\pi( (118)/(360) )
Now simplify!
21 × 118 is 2478 so it's

(2478)/(360) \pi
When divided ou and multiplied, this is 21.62cm!
