Question

While crossing the Atlantic, sailors spot two mermaids 120° apart on each end of an island that is 6 miles away. How far apart are the mermaids around the outer edge of the island to the nearest tenth of a mile?

Answer 1

I'm assuming you're dealing with trigonometry??

Answer 2

Draw the picture. It will give you an obtuse triangle that can be split into two 30/60/90 triangles. You are given one of the sides; you should be able to find the others and add them up.
