Answer

$9.42 \ cm$

Work Step by Step

Let $C$ be the circumference of a circle: $C=2 \pi r$ or, $C=\pi d$ Plug in the given data to obtain: $C=2\pi r=(2 \pi)(6) =12 \pi \ cm$ In order to get the arc length $l$, we need to multiply the circumference $C$ by $\dfrac{90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}$. So, we have: $l=\dfrac{90^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}} \times 12\pi=9.42 \ cm$
