Answer:


\theta=162^0

Explanation:


\text{Circumference of a circle}=2\pi r

Circumference of the Circle =10


\text{If the length of an arc}=(9)/(2)


\text{Length of an arc}=(\theta)/(360)X2\pi r

Therefore:


(9)/(2)=(\theta)/(360)X10\\(\theta)/(360)=(9)/(2)/ 10\\(\theta)/(360)=(9)/(20)\\$Cross Multiply\\20\theta=9X360\\\theta=(9X360)/ 20\\\theta=162^0

The central angle of the arc is 162 degrees.
