Answer

Round the curve length in feet to the nearest half foot: \(\boxed{0.5}\)

Steps

Step 1 ：Find the circumference of the circle using the formula C = 2 * pi * r, where r is the radius (4 inches): C = 2 * \(\pi\) * 4

Step 2 ：Divide the circumference by 4 to get the length of the curve: \(\frac{C}{4}\)

Step 3 ：Convert the curve length from inches to feet: \(\frac{curve\_length}{12}\)

Step 4 ：Round the curve length in feet to the nearest half foot: \(\boxed{0.5}\)
