To find the arc length of a circle, we can use the formula:
\[
\text{Arc Length} = r \cdot \theta
\]
where \( r \) is the radius and \( \theta \) is the central angle in radians.
Given:
- Radius \( r = 10 \) feet
- Central angle \( \theta = \frac{3\pi}{4} \)
Now, substituting the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Arc Length} = 10 \cdot \frac{3\pi}{4} = \frac{30\pi}{4} = \frac{15\pi}{2}
\]
Thus, the arc length is \(\frac{15\pi}{2}\).
The correct response is:
\[
\frac{15\pi}{2}
\]
