Therefore the hour hand travels 40.192in in 5 hours
How to calculate the area of a sector
A sector is said to be a part of a circle made of the arc of the circle along with its two radii.
The formula for calculating the area of a sector is expressed as;
A = r²β/2
where
r is the radius of the circle
β is the angle subtended
Since the the hour hand travel during 5 hours, the subtended angle by the sector will be;
β = 360/5
β = 72 degrees
Given the following parameters
r = 16/2
r = 8in
Substitute into the formula
A = 8²(72π)/360
A = 40.192in
Therefore the hour hand travels 40.192in in 5 hours
