Area of a circle is Pi (r^2) = 36 Pi

Therefore, r^2 = 36 or r = 6.

Now, circumference of this circle is Pi (Diameter) = 12 Pi

The total angle covered by the circle is 360 degrees.

The length of the arc that forms an angle of 30 degrees at te center will be 1/12th the length of the circumference

= Pi

Choice 1
