Arc Length is given by:
)
Where 
is the radius of the circle, and 
is the measure of the central angle in degrees.
Just substitute your values and do the arithmetic. Since you weren't told to round to some precision, I would leave the answer in terms of

Find the length of a 50 degree arc of a circle whose radius is 6.
.
diameter = 2r = 2(6) = 12
circumference = (pi)d = (3.14)(12)
.
Since there is 360 deg in a full circle:
length of a 50 deg arc = (50/360)(3.14)(12)
length of a 50 deg arc = (50/30)(3.14)
length of a 50 deg arc = (5/3)(3.14)
length of a 50 deg arc = 5.23
