Respuesta :

The arc length is given by:

[tex]s=r\theta[/tex]

where the angle has to be in radians.

Then we have to transform the angle to radians. To do this we use the formula:

[tex]\theta\cdot\frac{\pi}{180}[/tex]

Then our angle in radians is:

[tex]30\cdot\frac{\pi}{180}=\frac{\pi}{6}[/tex]

Now that we have the angle we plug its value and the radius in the formula:

[tex]s=9\cdot\frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{3}{2}\pi[/tex]

Therefore the arc length is:

[tex]s=\frac{3}{2}\pi[/tex]
