Answer

$71.4$ ft

Work Step by Step

Step 1: The formula to be used here is $s=r\theta$ where $s$ is the length of the arc intercepted on a circle of radius $r$ by a central angle of measure $\theta$ radians. Step 2: First, we need to convert the angle from degrees to radians, $330^{\circ}=330(\frac{\pi}{180})=\frac{11\pi}{6}$ radians Step 3: Substituting the values of the question into the formula, $s=(12.4)(\frac{11\pi}{6})$ Step 4: Simplifying, $s= \frac{341\pi}{15}=71.4$ ft
