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: \(\boxed{0.5}\)
