Traditional Soccer Ball (Posted on 2024-06-28)

A traditional soccer ball has 20 regular (spherical) hexagons with 12 regular pentagons situated so each is surrounded by five of the hexagons.

Given such a ball that's 22 cm in diameter, what is the arc length of one side where two polygons meet (penta/hexa or hexa/hexa) in centimeters?
