Question

If the radius of a clock is 5 inches, what is the distance around the edge of the clock between the two and the five to the nearest hundredth of an inch

plssss help
thank you

Answer 1

7.85 inches

Explanation:

It mentions distance around the edge of the clock, which is basically another term used for arc length.

Arc Length Formula :

Arc Length = 2πr × θ/360°

Values given :

Radius (r) = 5 inches

Turning angle (θ) = 3/12 × 2π = 1/4 x 2π = π/2 = 90°

Solving :

Arc Length = 2 x 3.14 x 5 x 90/360

Arc Length = 15.7 x 0.5

Arc Length = 7.85 inches
