Answer:

15 m

Explanation:

The area of the circle is

A =pi r^2

A = pi 4^2 = 16 pi

The area of the sector is 30

The fraction is

30/16 pi

Take this time 2pi which are the radians of a circle

30 /16 pi * 2 pi = 15/4

This is the number of radians the angle is

The arc length is s = r * theta where theta is in radians

s = r theta

= 4 * 15/4

= 15
