The length of the arc BC is 3.5π

An arc is acute out part of a circumference of a circle. The circumference of a circle is the outer body of a circle.

The area of a circle is expressed as;

A = πr²

where r is the radius of the circle.

The whole angle of a circle is 360° , the cut out arc angle is 90°, therefore the length of the arc = 1/4 circumference of circle.

C = 2πr

49π = πr²

r = 7

C = 2 × π × 7

C = 14π

length of BC = 14π/4

= 3.5π
