Solution:

The arc length of a circle is given by the following equation:


L=\theta R

where theta is the central angle and r is the radius of the circle. Then, replacing the given data into the previous equation, we get:


55=5R

solving for R, we get:


R\text{ = }(55)/(5)=\text{ 11}

then, the correct answer is:


R\text{ = 11}
