For which of the following is the arc between the two hands of a clock greater than a semicircle?
2 answers:
Answer:
A. The hands are at 11 and 6; arc measured clockwise
Step-by-step explanation:
A semicircle measures 180º and when you measure the distance from 11 to 6 the difference in the hands of the clock by each hour is given by the equation:
= 30
So there are 7 numbers between the 11 and the 6 if you measure it clockwise, that means that the angle formed by the two hands of the clock measured clockwise is:
7*30= 210
Wich is greater than 180º, which is why that is the correct answer.
