$= 0.74$ $=0.74$

Explanation:

A chord that goes from $\frac{π}{12}$ $pi/12$ to $\frac{π}{8}$ $pi/8$
so it travels the distance $\frac{π}{8} - \frac{π}{12} = \frac{π}{24}$ $pi/8-pi/12=pi/24$ ;
or
$\frac{π}{24} \div 2 π = \frac{1}{48}$ $pi/24-:2pi=1/48$ of the Circumference of the Circle
Area of the Circle $= π r^{2} = 32 π$ $=pir^2=32pi$
or
$r^{2} = 32$ $r^2=32$
or
$r = \sqrt{32}$ $r=sqrt32$
or
$r = 5.66$ $r=5.66$
Circumference of the circle $= 2 π r = 2 (π) (5.66) = 35.54$ $=2pir=2(pi)(5.66)=35.54$
Therefore Length of the chord $= 35.54 (\frac{1}{48}) = 0.74$ $=35.54(1/48)=0.74$
