1. **Problem statement:** We need to find the length of the minor arc AB of a circle with circumference 95 cm and central angle 72°.
2. **Formula:** The length of an arc $L$ is given by the formula:
$$L = \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \times C$$
where $\theta$ is the central angle in degrees and $C$ is the circumference of the circle.
3. **Given values:**
- Circumference $C = 95$ cm
- Central angle $\theta = 72^\circ$
4. **Calculation:**
Substitute the values into the formula:
$$L = \frac{72}{360} \times 95$$
Simplify the fraction:
$$\frac{72}{360} = \frac{1}{5}$$
So,
$$L = \frac{1}{5} \times 95 = 19$$
5. **Answer:** The length of the minor arc AB is $19$ cm.
