If a minor arc measuring 120 degrees has an arc length of 5 feet, then the circumference of the circle containing that arc must be:

Hint:   $\frac{arc\ length}{circumference}=\frac{arc\ measure}{360\degree}$  

This equation can be solved for circumference such that:
 $circumference=\frac{arc\ length\cdot360\degree}{arc\ measure}$  

• 15 feet

•  $\frac{5}{3}$  feet

• 600 feet
