Given the radius, circumference can be solved by the equation, C = 2πr. The circumference of the circle above is C = 2π(8 in) = 16<span>π in. To solve for the length of the segment joining the arc is the circumference times the ratio of central angle and 360 degrees.
Length of the segment = (16</span>π in)(60/360) = 8/3 <span>π in
Thus, the length of the segment is approximately 8.36 in. </span>
