Recall the formula for the length of an arc (s) of a circle, which is given by the product of the radius (r) and the central angle (θ) in radians: \(s = r \cdot \theta\).
Understand that the central angle θ must be in radians for this formula to apply directly; if given in degrees, convert it to radians first.
Identify the given values: radius \(r\) inches and central angle \(\theta\) radians.
Substitute the given values into the formula: \(s = r \cdot \theta\).
Express the arc length \(zv\) as \(zv = r \cdot \theta\), which gives the length of the arc in inches.
