s= r\theta\\\\ s=3\cdot(2\pi )/(7)=(6\pi)/(7)

Answer: Option 'C' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that


\theta=(2\pi)/(7) \\\\r=3\ cm

An arc is a part of total circumference of circle and length of that arc is the measurement of linear distance.

Since we know the formula for "Length of an arc " , we get


L=r* \theta\\\\L=(2\pi)/(7)* 3\\\\L=(6\pi)/(7)

Hence, Option 'C' is correct.
