Answer:

5.02655 units

Explanation:

A circle consists of 360 degrees. Thus, 48 degrees is 48/360 of a circle. This relationship transfers to the arc length. The arc length with a central angle of 48 degrees is 48/360 of the entire circle's circumference. Thus:


Arc(Length) = (48)/(360)* 6*2*\pi = 5.02655
