Answer: Length of arc = 12.6 cm

Explanation:

CD is an arc. We would apply the formula for determining the length of an arc is expressed as

Length of arc = θ/360 × 2πr

Where

θ represents the central angle.

r represents the radius of the circle.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

From the information given,

Diameter = 24 cm

Radius, r = diameter/2 = 24/2

Radius = 12 cm

θ = 60 degrees

Therefore,

Length of arc = 60/360 × 2 × 3.14 × 12

Length of arc = 12.6 cm rounded up to the nearest tenth.
