    The length of the arc is 1.0467

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First of all to solve this problem we need to use the circumferenc formula of a circle:

    c = circumference

    r = radius = 3

    π = 3.14

    c = 2π * r

    we replace with the known values

    c = 2 * 3.14 * 3

    c = 18.84

    The length of the circumference is 18.84

    Now we have to divide the 20° by the 360 ° that a circle has, to know what part of the circle it represents

    20° / 360° = 1/18

    Now we multiply this fraction by the circumference and obtain the length of the arc

    1/18 * 18.84 = 1.0467

    The length of the arc is 1.0467
