Length of arc #L = = color(green)((350pi) / 9 )# #mm#

Explanation:

Length of the arc is given by the formula

#L =# n^@ / 360) * 2 pi r# where

Central angle #n = 350^@#, radius #r = 20 mm#

#L = (350 / 360) * 2 pi * 20 = (350 * cancel(40) * pi) / cancel(360)^color(red)(9#

#L = color(green)((350pi) / 9 )# #mm# ~~ 122.173# #mm#
