1. **State the problem:** We need to find the length of the arc AB of a sector of a circle with radius 43 mm and central angle 62°.
2. **Formula for arc length:** The length of an arc $s$ is given by the formula:
$$s = r \theta$$
where $r$ is the radius and $\theta$ is the central angle in radians.
3. **Convert angle to radians:** Since the angle is given in degrees, convert it to radians using:
$$\theta = 62^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180^\circ} = \frac{62\pi}{180} = \frac{31\pi}{90}$$
4. **Calculate arc length:** Substitute $r = 43$ mm and $\theta = \frac{31\pi}{90}$ into the formula:
$$s = 43 \times \frac{31\pi}{90} = \frac{43 \times 31 \pi}{90} = \frac{1333 \pi}{90}$$
5. **Evaluate the numerical value:** Using $\pi \approx 3.1416$,
$$s \approx \frac{1333 \times 3.1416}{90} = \frac{4187.5}{90} \approx 46.5 \text{ mm}$$
6. **Final answer:** The length of the arc AB is approximately **46.5 mm** to 1 decimal place.
