Given:

The radius is 18ft.

The angle is


(\pi)/(3)

To find:

The length of the arc

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle in degrees is


(\pi)/(3)*(180)/(\pi)=60^(\circ)

Using the formula of the length of the arc is,


\begin{gathered} s=(\theta)/(360)*2\pi r \\ s=(60)/(360)*2*(22)/(7)*18 \\ s=18.857 \\ s\approx18.9ft \end{gathered}

Final answer:

The length of the arc is 18.9 ft.
