To find the arc length, we have to use the following formula:


\text{arc length = circumference x fraction of circle}

In this case, we have that r = 6, so:


\begin{gathered} l\text{ = 2}\pi r\cdot\text{ }(265)/(360) \\ \Rightarrow l\text{ = 2}\pi(6)\cdot\text{ }(265)/(360) \\ \Rightarrow l\text{ = }(12\cdot265)/(360)\pi\text{ = }(265)/(30)\pi \end{gathered}

Therefore, the arc length is 265/30 pi mm
