What'chu think Lyshawn? :)

zepdrix · Answer

Again, we're looking for a portion of the circumference $\large\rm C=2\pi r$

10 of the full 360 this time,$$\Large\rm S=\frac{10}{360}\cdot 2 \pi r$$

zepdrix · Answer

I'm not sure what type of calculator you're using, but here is a good way to input it maybe, all at once,$$\Large\rm (10\div360)\times2\times\pi\times5$$
