Answer: Choice D

11pi/4

=======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles shown add to: 120+45+30 = 195 degrees.

The remaining bit needed to get to a full 360 degree circle is 360-195 = 165 degrees, which is the measure of central angle AFD.

This means the arc AED is 165/360 of the full circle perimeter or circumference.

The fraction 165/360 reduces to 11/24 after dividing both parts by the GCF 15

So we can say that the length of arc AED is exactly 11/24 of the full circumference.

-----------------

The length FB is 3 units (radius), so EB is 6 units (diameter)

This leads to,

C = circumference

C = pi*diameter

C = pi*6

C = 6pi

That's the full circumference, but we only want 11/24 of it to get arc AED.

arc AED = (11/24)*(full circumference)

arc AED = (11/24)*(6pi)

arc AED = 11pi/4 which is choice D

I'm assuming choice D says 11pi/4
