I understand that the sector and circle look like the drawing below,
and that the problem asks for one possible integer value for the length of the arc shown in red.

The area of a sector or a circle with radius
and length of arc or circumference is
.
(If that reminds you of the formula for area of a triangle, it is not a coincidence).
In this case, we are told that for the sector with arc length
.
Multiplying all three sides of that inequality times , we get

.
So, possible integer arc lengths are or or .
