To find the arc length with the central angle of 262°, and a radius of 9cm, here is what I did.
Took the measure of the angle and placed it over the circumference of the circle (360°). Then I multiplied by 2, pi, and the radius to find the arc length. Since the question asked to round the answer to the nearest hundred I just added a 0 at the end of the answer.

262/360 x 2 x pi x 9 = 13.1pi
Would this be correct?

That is correct if you can use π\displaystyle \pi that way.
It may want 41.16 ?\displaystyle 41.16~?
 
Thanks for confirmation:) I rechecked the question and it did state, "Express your answer in pi and round the final answer to the nearest hundredth."

Should I add a 0 at the end to express the hundreds place? or do you think 13.1 is sufficient? Thanks again!:)
