Interactive practice questions

If the circumference of the circle is equal to $144$144 cm, find the length of the solid arc.

A circle is depicted with its arc and two radii outlined with a solid green line, thus forming a sector, while the rest of the circle is represented with a dashed green line. The two radii of the sector, formed a central angle labeled as 160 degrees.
