\textit{arc's length}\\\\ s = \cfrac{\theta \pi r}{180} ~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ \theta =\stackrel{degrees}{angle}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ s=22\\ r=4 \end{cases}\implies 22=\cfrac{\theta \pi (4)}{180}\implies 22=\cfrac{\theta \pi}{45} \\\\\\ (22)(45)=\theta \pi \implies \cfrac{(22)(45)}{\pi }=\theta \implies 315.13\approx \theta
