Answer:


1.5\pi cm

Explanation:

A central angle measuring
45^\circ is
(45^\circ)/(360^\circ)=(45)/(360), or
(1)/(8) of the entire circle. The circumference of the circle is given by the formula
2\pi r, which is
12\pi.

Then, the length of an arc measuring
(1)/(8) of the entire circle is
12\pi\cdot(1)/(8)=1.5\pi cm.
