Final answer:

The length of the arc is 1 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the arc can be found using the formula:

arc length = (central angle / 360 degrees) x circumference

Given that the central angle is 60 degrees and the circumference is 6, we can substitute these values into the formula:

arc length = (60 / 360) x 6 = 1 unit

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

1

Discussion:

The circumference, 6, spans an arc of 360 degrees. The 60 degree arc spans 1/6 of the circumference ( as 60 = 360/6 = 360 * (1/6) ) and 1/6 of the circumference is (1/6) 6 = 1

Thank you,

MrB
