Answer:

Option B. 2π inches

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Radius (r) = 6 in

Centre angle (θ) = 60 °

Length of arc (L) =?

The length of arc can be obtained as follow:

L = 2πr × (θ/360°)

L = 2 × 6 × π × (60/360)

L = 12π × 1/6

L = 2π in

Thus, the length of the arc is 2π in.
