EXPLANATION

The length of the arc is given by the following relationsip:


L\text{ength\_arc}=\frac{given_{\text{ }}\text{arc angle}}{360}2\pi r

Replacing terms:


\text{Length}_{\text{arc}}=(315)/(360)\cdot2\cdot\pi\cdot11

Simplifying the fraction:


\text{Length}_{\text{arc}}=0.875\cdot2\cdot\pi\cdot11

Multiplying terms:


\text{Length}_{\text{arc}}=19.25\pi

The length of the arc is 19.25π
