IF RAM is a diameter, then  ANGLE RAC   is 180 degrees - 40 = 120 degrees.

 

The TOTAL circumference of the 360 degree circle is  pi x d     =  pi x 2 r = pi x 2 x 8

The fraction of this total circumference is  140 degrees oout of 360 degrees  or   140/360 of the entire circumference

 

Thi.s equals    (140/360 )  *  pi * 2 * 8 = 19.55 cm
