1. **State the problem:** We have a circle with radius $R=6400$ km and a central angle $X=22^\circ$. We want to find the length of the arc subtended by this angle.
2. **Formula used:** The length of an arc $s$ in a circle is given by the formula:
$$s = R \times \theta$$
where $\theta$ is the central angle in radians.
3. **Convert degrees to radians:** Since $X=22^\circ$, convert to radians using:
$$\theta = 22^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180^\circ} = \frac{22\pi}{180} = \frac{11\pi}{90}$$
4. **Calculate the arc length:**
$$s = 6400 \times \frac{11\pi}{90}$$
5. **Simplify the expression:**
$$s = \frac{6400 \times 11 \pi}{90} = \frac{70400 \pi}{90}$$
6. **Reduce the fraction:**
$$s = \frac{\cancel{70400} \pi}{\cancel{90}} = \frac{70400 \pi}{90}$$
Actually, dividing numerator and denominator by 10:
$$s = \frac{7040 \pi}{9}$$
7. **Approximate the value:** Using $\pi \approx 3.1416$,
$$s \approx \frac{7040 \times 3.1416}{9} = \frac{22122.624}{9} \approx 2458.07 \text{ km}$$
**Final answer:** The length of the arc is approximately $2458.07$ km.
