Answer:

1/4th

Explanation:

This comes from knowing the unit circle in both radians and degrees. However, you could also calculate it from knowing that 360 degrees is 2
\pi radians. What you'll find is that
(\pi )/(2) radians is 90 degrees, or 1/4th of the circle. This means that an arc measuring
(\pi )/(2) radians will be 1/4th of the entire circumference.

I hope this helps!
