To find the arc length \( L \) of a circle corresponding to a central angle, you can use the formula:

\[ L = r \theta \]

where:

  • \( r \) is the radius of the circle,
  • \( \theta \) is the central angle in radians.

Given:

  • \( r = 3 \)
  • \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} \)

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[ L = 3 \cdot \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{3\pi}{4} \]

So the arc length is:

\[ \frac{3\pi}{4} \]

The correct response is:

\[ \text{Start Fraction } 3 \pi \text{ over } 4 \text{ End Fraction} \]
