Question

The minute had of a clock is 8 in. long.
What distance does the tip of the minute hand travel in 10 min?
I have trouble if I should find the radian or the length of the arc.

Answer 1

Answer:

P=8.378in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Distance travelled be P

Time,t=10mins

Lenth of minute hand be l

1 hr= 60 mins, Therefore t  is time taken to cover $\frac{1}{6} of \ the \ distance$

$P=\frac{2}{6}\pi*r\\P=\frac{2}{6}*\pi*8\\ =8.378$
