Did you notice the little box with corners marked in the angle down at the bottom ?
That angle is a right angle, and <em>this triangle is a right triangle</em> !
This piece of information is a big help. It breaks the problem wide open.
You know that in order to find the longest side of a right triangle . . .
-- Square the length of one short side.
-- Square the length of the other short side.
-- Add the two squares together.
-- Take the square root of the sum.
One short side=48. Its square = 2,304.
The other short side=48. Its square = 2,304.
Add the two squares: 2,304 + 2,304 = 4,608
The square root of the sum = √4,608 = <em><u>67.88</u></em> (rounded)
So each hour represents 30°.
The minute hand moves 60s per minute and a full rotation is 360° so: 360/60 = 6° per minute.
<span>So in 20 minutes the minute hand will be 6 * 20 = 120° and the hour hand will be 120/12 = 10°.
</span>so it would be 10°
The answer of your question is 5% <span />
The distance from A to B is the radius, as point A is the center of the circle, and B is a point on the circle.
AB is 5 inches, so the radius will be 5 inches.
D is another point on the circle, so AD would also be considered a radius. This means that the distance from A to D would be 5 inches.
