To determine the length of the arc, we first solve the circumference of the circle using the formula C = 2πr.

Based on the circle, its radius is 6 cm.


C=2*\pi*6cm
C=12\pi\text{ }cm

Therefore, its circumference is 12π cm.

Next, we multiply the circumference by the ratio of its intercepted central angle and the 1 whole revolution.

In this case, the ratio is 120°/360°


ArcLength=(120)/(360)*12\pi\text{ }cm
ArcLength=(1)/(3)*12\pi\text{ }cm
ArcLength=4\pi\text{ }cm

Therefore, the length of arc MN is 4π cm. (Option 4)
