6. Two boats set sail from a dock. One travels 2.7 km and the other travels 6.0 km. The crew on each boat then measures the angle made by their line of sight with the other boat and the dock. Boat A measures an angle of 26, while boat B measures an angle of 104. Determine the distance between the two boats, rounded to the nearest tenth of a kilometre.
