Answer:

25.12 in

Explanation:

In the given circle

  • radius (r) = 12 in

  • central angle
    (\theta) = 120\degree

  • Formula for length of arc is given as:


  • l=(\theta)/(360\degree)* 2\pi r

  • Plugging the values of r and
    \theta in the above equation, we find:


  • l=(120\degree)/(360\degree)* 2(3.14) (12)


  • \implies l=(1)/(3)* 2(3.14) (12)


  • \implies\huge\red{ l=25.12\:in}
