Step 1: Find the circumference of the circle

Formula for circumference: C = 2 * pi * r

C = 2 * pi * 27

C = 54pi

Step 2: Find the length of the desired arc

We are only looking for 20 degrees out of 360 degrees, therefore we can multiply our circumference by 20/360.

20/360 * 54pi = 3pi units

Hope this helps!
