Now, when I click on this, my cursor changes, but also notice in the bottom right hand corner, I get a number of sides. So basically we're drawing a portion of a circle. So just like with the circle tool I need to define how many sides I'm drawing. So once we get this, we get a protractor tool. If we hit the up arrow, it's blue. If we hit the right arrow, it's red. If we hit the left arrow, it's green. So I'm going to go ahead and hit the up arrow lock it to blue, left click, and drag. And then you'll see we get a length.
