.

First calculate the circumference of the circle with the given radius  C =   inches = 2*3.14*10 = 62.8 inches.


Then take  the      part of this value, which is the length of the arc :    = 9.42 inches.    ANSWER

I perfectly remember this post from yesterday, and my response to it.

Comment from student: Thank u - I am a parent trying to check my kids work during homeschooling - I never took Algebra

My response: --- May I give an advise to you ?

    Put this phrase 

        "I am a parent trying to check my kids work during homeschooling - I never took Algebra."

    as a very first phrase in your post - then we, the tutors, will understand your request perfectly: 
    for whom we are working and what you expect from us.


    Otherwise, I assume that I communicate with a full scale student, who knows, at least, the basics of Math 
    and can follow his part of the way on his (or her) own.

Ok ?
