Answer:

exact arc length = 21pi

approximate arc length (using calculator) = 65.9734457253857

approximate arc length (using 3.14 for pi) = 65.94

units are in feet

============================================

Work Shown:

L = (x/360)*2*pi*r

L = (315/360)*2*pi*12

L = 21pi = exact arc length in terms of pi

If you use your calculator's stored version of pi, then L is approximately

L = 21pi

L = 65.9734457253857

Or if you end up using pi = 3.14, then

L = 21*pi

L = 21*3.14

L = 65.94

Fairly close to the other approximation though a bit off because pi = 3.14 is just a rough approximation.
