arc length = radius*theta where theta is measured in radians.

Your Problem:
arc length = 5 cm = (25/3)pi cm = 26.18 cm

Since as a fraction of a whole circle is of a circle.
So if the arc length of the whole circle is , the arc length of the arc that subtends an angle of must be of the whole circle:
Which is the exact answer. If you want to put that into your calculator and round the result to a two decimal place approximation, be my guest.
By the way: "pie" is a dessert item, usually with a flaky crust, and frequently with a fruit filling. "pi" is the English language representation of the Greek alphabetic character representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.
