A sector is a part of a circle that is formed by two radii, and an arc. So that the length of the safety railing required is 31.4 feet.

A sector is a part of a circle that is formed by two radii, and an arc, thus forming a central angle.

Thus the required length of safety railing can be considered as the arc of the sector.

So that;

length of an arc = (θ / [tex]360^{o}[/tex]) * 2[tex]\pi[/tex]r

where θ is the measure of the central angle of the sector, and r is the radius of the sector.

From the given question, θ = 45°, and r = 40 feet.

So that,

length of the safety railing = (45° / [tex]360^{o}[/tex]) * 2 * 3.14 * 40

                                 = 0.125 * 2* 3.14* 40

length of safety railing = 31.4

Therefore, the length of the safety railing required is 31.4 feet.
