SOLUTION

The length of an arc is given by


\begin{gathered} \text{Length of arc=}\theta* r \\ \text{Where }\theta\text{is in radians} \end{gathered}

Write out the given parametrs, we have


\begin{gathered} r=45 \\ \theta=12rads \end{gathered}

Substitute into the formula, we have


\begin{gathered} \text{Length or arc=} \\ 12*45=540cm \end{gathered}

Therefore

The Arc-length of the circle is 540cm
