Question

The second hand on a clock is 8 cm,long.

What is the distance the tip of the second-hand travels in 10 minutes?

Round your answer to the nearest CM

Answer 1

Total Distance = 8.37 cm

Explanation:

D = π2r

D = π2(8)

D = 16 π

D = 50.24

T = 60 = 1hr

T = 60/10 = T x D = 1/6 x 50.24

Total D = 8.37 cm

Alternative is we can take 1/6 as a decimal = 0.1666 x 50.24 = 8.37 cm
