The arc length of a segment is proportional to the angle of the arc, so:

 

length of arc AB/70 = length of circumference/360     (because there are 360° all the way round)

 

length of arc AB/70 = 25/360

 

Multiply both sides by 70

 

length of arc AB = 70*25/360 cm

 

I'll leave you to crunch the numbers
