    You're dealing with "arc length" here, and the formula for that is s = r*theta, where r is the radius and theta is the central angle in radians (not degrees).

    Thus, s = (12pi inches) = (10 inches) (theta), so

    theta = the central angle (not the measure of the arc) = (12pi) / (10 inches), or

    theta = 1.2*pi (no units of measurement)
