Solution

It seems like there's some information missing from your question. However, I'll provide a general method for finding the length of a major arc.

  1. First, you need to find the measure of the arc DFE. Since the measure of ∠DCE is given as 130°, the measure of the minor arc DE is also 130° (because the measure of an arc is equal to the measure of its central angle). The entire circle is 360°, so the measure of the major arc DFE is 360° - 130° = 230°.

  2. Next, you need to find the circumference of the entire circle. The formula for the circumference of a circle is 2πr, where r is the radius. Given that the radius of the circle is 4 in, the circumference is 2π(4 in) = 8π in.

  3. Finally, to find the length of the major arc DFE, you need to take the measure of the arc DFE (230°) as a fraction of the total circle (360°), and multiply it by the circumference. So, the length of the major arc DFE is (230°/360°) * 8π in ≈ 5.12π in.

Please note that this is an approximate value. The exact length of the major arc DFE is 230/360 * 8π in.
