My solution below is in Inventor 2013, but since you didn't tell us what version you're using, I don't know if you can open it.

 

This isn't as easy as it ought to be, but here's how I did it (see attached).  I created a view sketch, projected the two arcs, and created an arc concentric with the big "circle" as an extension to show the complete circle (set to the Dimension layer).  I then put in a Sketch-Only line between the arc centers, then a normal line tanget to the sketched arc and perpendicular to the previous line.  This last line is purely for something to dimension to.  I exited the sketch, then created a dimension between the tangent line just placed and the quadrant of the small arc.  Then I went back into the sketch and changed that tangent line to Sketch Only so it is not visible.
