Answer:

40°

Step-by-step explanation:

In any circle the following ratios are equal

let x be the measure of the central angle, then

[tex]\frac{arc}{circumference}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{360}[/tex]

circumference = 2πr = 2π × 18 = 36π, so

[tex]\frac{4\pi }{36\pi }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{360}[/tex], that is

[tex]\frac{1}{9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{360}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

9x = 360 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 40

Hence central angle = 40°
