A ship is traveling in a circle around the outside rim of an island surveying a good place to land. If it is 6 miles from a lighthouse at the center of the island and 120° from due north, how far has the ship traveled from the most northern tip of the island to the nearest tenth?

(120o / 360o) • π d
(1 / 3) • (3.14 • 12 mi)
3.14 • 4 mi = 12.56 mi
round 12.56 to nearest tenth = 12.6 mi
