Trick here is not to Assume. GMAT is trying you to assume that the agnle is a right angle triangle. Don't go by figures unless it is stated.

if we can know the angle made by arc at the center then we can use the formula
Theta=Angle at center by an arc
[Theta/360]*2*pi*r=Lenght_of_arc

so in current Que answer is E
