The given diagram shows a circle with radius (R) 6 inches, and the central angle of arc AB as 30 degrees,


\begin{gathered} R=6 \\ \theta=30^(\circ) \end{gathered}

Consider that the length (L) of a circular arc of radius R and central angle Θ, is given by the formula,


\begin{gathered} L=(\theta)/(360)\cdot2\pi R \\ L=(30)/(360)\cdot2\pi(6) \\ L=\pi \\ L=3.14 \end{gathered}
