Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for arc length (at least the geometric formula) is


AL=(\theta)/(360)*\pi d

What we have here is a perfect semicircle. A semicircle has a central angle measure of 180 degrees (that's our theta value) and this circle has a diameter of 12. Therefore,


AL=(180)/(360)*12\pi which simplifies nicely to


AL=(1)/(2)*12(3.14) which simplifies even further to


AL=(1)/(2)*(37.68) which gives you an arc length of

AL = 18.84 units
