    Hello!

    To find the length of the arc on a circle with a radius length of 16 feet, and is also intercepted by a 60 degree angle, we need to change it from degrees to radians, and then multiply it by 16 feet, which is the radius.

    To change from degrees to radians, we will to multiply it by π/180.

    60 * π/180 = π/3 rad

    Now, we multiply π/3 rad by 16 feet.

    π/3 * 16 = 16π/3

    This answer would be exact, but we are needed to substitute π for 3.14.

    16 (3.14) / 3 = 16.75

    Therefore, the length of the arc is equal to about 16.75.
