Given:

VW = 5

m∠WVX = 60 degrees

Let's find the length of arc WX.

To find the length of arc WX, apply the formula below.

Apply the formula:


L=2\pi r*(\theta)/(360)

Where:

r is the radius = 5

θ is the measure of the central angle = 60 degrees.

Hence, we have:


\begin{gathered} L=2\pi*5*(60)/(360) \\ \\ L=10\pi*(1)/(6) \\ \\ L=(10)/(6)\pi \\ \\ L=(5)/(3)\pi \end{gathered}

Therefore, the length of arc WX is:


(5)/(3)\pi

ANSWER:


(5)/(3)\pi
