Answer:

The length of the arc is fimte times its angle.

Explanation:

We know that the diameter is 10 inches, which means its radius is 5 inches long.

To determined the length of the subtended arc, we use the following equation


s= \theta r

Where
s is the arc length,
\theta is the angle and
r is the radius. Replacing values, we have


s=5\theta

Therefore, the length of the arc is fimte times its angle.
