Explanation:

The question requires that we get the measure of the arc AB

Given: Diameter of circle = 9 feet.

We can then obtain the radius of the circle which is half of the diameter of the circle

Radius = Diameter/2 = 9/2 = 4.5 feet

Length of an arc can be obtained using:

Length of arc =

360

x 2

Length of arc =

360

x 2πr

where r = radius

= 3.14

= angle substended at the center

π = 3.14

∅ = angle substended at the center

QUESTION 1

Given that the angle subtended by the arc at the center = 45 degrees

We can then substitute the values into the equation

Length of arc =

45

360

x 2 x 3.14 x 4.5

Length of arc = 3.53 f

Length of arc =

360

45

x 2 x 3.14 x 4.5

Length of arc = 3.53 feet

Length of arc = 3.53 feet (To the nearest hundredth )
