Answer:

121 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Radius r = 18ft

Length of the arc = 38ft

Required

angle of rotation

Using the formula

Length of an arc = theta/360 * 2πr

Substitute the given data

38 = theta/360 * 2π(18)

38 = theta/360 * 113.04

theta/360 = 38/113.04

theta/360 = 0.33616

theta = 0.33616 * 360

theta = 121.02

Hence the angle of rotation to the nearest degree is 121 degrees
