    The length of the arc is 4.6375 miles

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Firstly, find the perimeter of the circle by doing 2*pi*r, you'll get about 18.55 miles.

    2*pi*r - --> 2*pi*3 - --> 6*pi - --> ≈ 18.55 miles

    Next, plug in x/360, where 360 is the total arc of a circle, and x is the arc you need.

    x/360 - --> 90/360 - --> = 0.25

    Lastly multiply the two numbers.

    18.55 * 0.25 - --> 4.6375 miles is your answer.
