To find the length of the arc created by a central angle in a circle, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Arc Length} = r \cdot \theta \]

where \( r \) is the radius of the circle and \( \theta \) is the central angle in radians.

  1. Find the radius: The diameter is given as 94 kilometers, so the radius \( r \) is:

\[ r = \frac{diameter}{2} = \frac{94}{2} = 47 \text{ kilometers} \]

  1. Use the central angle: The central angle is \( \frac{3\pi}{2} \) radians.

  2. Calculate the arc length:

\[ \text{Arc Length} = r \cdot \theta = 47 \cdot \frac{3\pi}{2} \]

  1. Perform the multiplication:

\[ \text{Arc Length} = 47 \cdot \frac{3\pi}{2} = \frac{141\pi}{2} \]

So, the length of the arc created by the angle is:

\[ \frac{141\pi}{2} \]

Among the provided options, the correct answer looks like:

\[ \frac{141\pi}{2} \]

Therefore, the correct response is:

\(\mathbf{141\pi/2}\)
