    Given:

    length of the needle: 20 cm

    angle 100°

    We need to solve for the length of an arc to get the distance the needle has traveled.

    Length of an Arc = n°/360° * 2πr

    Length of an Arc = 100°/360° * 2 * 3.14 * 20cm

    Length of an Arc = 0.28 * 125.6 cm

    Length of an Arc = 35.17 cm
