[-11 ± sqrt(121 - 72)]/2 = (-11 ± 7)/2  

solution: (-9, -2)

step-by-step explanation:

answer would be 8.64 or s = 11π/4 inches

step-by-step explanation:

s = r θ  

where s = arc length  

r = radius = 3 inches  

θ = central angle in radians = ( π /180)*165  

s = 3(π/180)*165  

= 8.64 inches
