A circle's center is at (9,7) and it passes through (6,2). What is the length of an arc covering 5π6 radians on the circle?

First of all the radius of the circle would be the distance between the center at (9,7) and the point (6,2) on the circle. This would be (96)2+(72)2 = 34 cms

Arc length formula is s=rθ where angle (θ) is measured in radians. In the present case θ=5π6, hence arc length would be345π6 = 15.26 cms
