#12.6# #cm#

Consider the diagram

The length of an arc with radius #r# and vertex angle #theta# is

#color(brown)(theta/360*2pir#

#rarr90/360*2*22/7*8#

#rarr1/cancel4^1*2*22/7*cancel8^2#

#rarr2*22/7*2#

#rarr4*22/7#

#rarr4*3.14#

#color(green)(rArr12.56# #color(green)(cm)#

Rounded off to the nearest tenth will be #12.6# #cm#

Hope this helps! :)
