Answer

Length of arc DB = 44 feet

Step-by-step explanation

To find the length of the arc DB, we need to first note that the length of an arc is calculated using the formula


Length\text{ of an arc = }(\theta)/(360\degree)*2\pi r

where

θ = Angle subtended at the center of the circle by arc DB = 180° - 40° = 140°

π = pi = (22/7)

r = Radius of the circle = 18 feet


\begin{gathered} Length\text{ of an arc = }(\theta)/(360\degree)*2\pi r \\ Length\text{ of an arc = }(140\degree)/(360\degree)*2*(22)/(7)*18=44\text{ f}eet \end{gathered}

Hope this Helps!!!
