Answer 1

We are required to find the length of arc PS

By definition, the length of an arc is given as:

`L\text{ = 2}\pi r((\theta)/(360))`

Here,

`\begin{gathered} \pi\text{ = 3.14} \\ \theta\text{ = 73 degrees } \\ r\text{ = }6.48\text{ in} \end{gathered}`

Substituting these values in the formula, we have

`\begin{gathered} L\text{ = 2}*3.14*6.48*(73)/(360) \\ \\ =\text{ 8.25} \end{gathered}`

The length is therefore, 8.25in
