hte measure of the Length is given by the formula
L= R x teta

so L= 3x2=6 radians.cm

Answer:


6\ cm

Explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the length of the arc is equal to


L=r\theta

where

r is the radius


\theta is the central angle in radians

In this problem we have


\theta=2\ radians


r=3\ cm

Substitute the values


L=3*2=6\ cm
