Question

The length of the minute hand of a clock is

14 inches. What is the length of the path traced

by the outer tip of the minute hand in one

hour? Use 22/7 for pi

Answer 1

Therefore,

The length of the path traced by the outer tip of the minute hand in one hour, is 88 inches.

Explanation:

Given:

The length of the minute hand of a clock is,

Which is as Radius,

Therefore,

Radius = r = length of the minute hand = 14\ inches

pi = 22/7

To Find:

The length of the path traced by the outer tip of the minute hand in one hour, will be One full rotation, that is

Circumference, C = ?

Solution:

Circumference, is given by,

`Circumference = 2\pi r`

`Circumference = 2* (22)/(7)* 14=88\ inches`

Therefore,

The length of the path traced by the outer tip of the minute hand in one hour, is 88 inches.
