Geometry Maths help

A segment is cut off a circle of radius 5 cm by a chord AB of length 6 cm. Find the length of the minor arc AB.
would I find out the area of the segment first and then find the other length AB along the arc?
use the fact that the radius bisects the chord at right angles to find the angle subtended by the minor arc at the centre

then find the length using appropriate formula
