Answer:

CE ≈ 8.24 units

Explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula ...

C = 2πr

Your circle has a radius CD of 4 units, so its circumference is ...

C = 2π(4 units) = 8π units

__

The arc of interest is 118°. The whole circle is 360°, so the length of the arc is 118/360 times the circumference of the circle:

CE = (118/360)(8π units) ≈ 8.24 units
