Question

The minute hand on the clock is 10 cm long and travels through an ark of 180° every 18 minutes. which measure is closest to the length of the art the minute hand travels through during this 18 minute period

Answer 1

Answer: The arc length of the clock is 31.42cm

Explanation:

1. Use your section formula: S = r (Radius) θ (Theta: Angle in radians)

2. Convert your 180 degrees to radians by multiplying it by π / 180, resulting in π radians.

3. Take your radius of 10cms and multiply it by π, leaving 31.42cm. This is the length of the 180 degree arc.
