The obvious answer is 58 degrees. It is very close to one radian (57.3 degrees), which is an angle such that the length of the arc that it subtends is the same as the radius.
To find the arc length given the radius and angle measure in degrees, you must first convert the angle from degrees to radians, using the formula: Degrees = Radians X (pi/180). Then take the radians and the radius that you are given, and put them into the formula of Q = (a/r) where Q is the angle in radians, a is the arc length, and r is the radius. When you have this, simple multiply both sides by the radius to isolate the a. Once you do this, you have your answer.
One radian is about 57.3 degrees
40 degrees.
One fourth of a circle is 90 degrees.
