Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for arc length (s) of a circle of radius r is s = rФ.

Solving for the angle, Ф, we get:

            s

Ф = -----------

            r

which in this case is

       18.75 cm

Ф = --------------- = 3.75 radians

          5 cm

Convert 3.75 radians to degrees:

                   180 degrees

3.75 rad * ---------------------- = 214.86 degrees (nearest hundredth of a

                       pi rad                                       degree)
