Answer:

AHH! Geometry!

Thanks!

The arc has a length of 1/3

Explanation:

So you first start off with this:


(20)/(360)

This is because a circle is 360 degrees, and we are talking about a 20 degree arc.

Simplifying, we get
(1)/(18)

So then, you multiply the circumference with this "factor"


(1)/(18) *6=(6)/(18)=(1)/(3)

Hope this helps!

P.S. Stay Safe during quarantine!
