Answer:

7.855 inches

Explanation:

The formula to find the length of an arc is :

Arc Length =
(\theta)/(360) × 2 π r

Here,

Θ ⇒ size of the angle ⇒ 30°

r ⇒ radius ⇒ 15 inches

Let us solve it now.

Arc length =
(\theta)/(360) × 2 π r

Arc length =
(30)/(360)*2*\pi*15

Arc length =
(30*2*\pi*15)/(360)

Arc length =
(2827.8)/(360)

Arc length = 7.855 inches

Let me know if you have any other questions. :)
