Hi there :)

OpenStudy (leader):

Do do you know the formula to find the arclength?

OpenStudy (leader):

\[s=r \times \theta\] Where \(\theta\) is in radians :)

OpenStudy (leader):

So we are already given that r=4 We just need to make 72 degrees into radians :)

OpenStudy (leader):

And we can use the conversion that 180 degrees equals to \(\pi\)
