(Trigonometry, please help this is due within 2 hours.) The radius of a pond is about 840 feet. After walking around the pond through an angle of 2pi/3 radians, you pick up a plastic bottle. If the recycle bin is where you started, how far, to the nearest foot, do you have to walk back to recycle the bottle? (Reporting bots/obscene answers.)​​
