wow..is it 600-700 lvl question? took me some time to solve it.

first of all:
Circumference (C) is equal to 2pi*r.
to find the length of an arc, we need to draw 2 radii to the points we need (in this case B and C). Identify the angle measure. then:
angle/360 * circumference.

we don't know the angle, yet we know the length of the arc.
we can built an equation:
x/360*2pi*r = 5pi*r/18
x*pi*r/180 = 5pi*r/18
clearly, the first one is 10 times greater than the second one
thus, we can rewrite:
x*pi*r=50pi*r
thus, x must be 50, or the angle of the arc BC is equal to 50.
the rest of the angles, since it is an isosceles triangle, are 65 degrees. or B'=65.

now, we know the angle ABC.
we can draw 2 radii to the points of A and B. we know that the part of the angle of B is 65 degrees, thus, the other one must be 35.
since we have an isosceles triangle, angle A' must be 35 as well. together, they add up to 70 degrees, which means that the angle A'OB' is equal to 110.
now, 110/360*2pi*r = 11pi*r/18
