Answer:

The length of the arc = 8π/3 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of an arc is given by the fomula:


L=(\theta)/(360)*2\pi r

The radius, r = 8 ml


\theta=60^0


\begin{gathered} L=(60)/(360)*2\pi*8 \\ \\ L=(16\pi)/(6) \\ \\ L=(8\pi)/(3) \end{gathered}

The length of the arc = 8π/3 mi
