So, a full circle has 360°, thus when the minute hand does one hour, it does a full circle, therefore 360°.

now, how many degrees are there in 1 minute?  well, there are 60 minutes in 360°, therefore there are 360/60 degrees in 1 minute, or 6°.

now, we know in 1 hour there are 360°, how many in 27 minutes?  well, 27 * 6, or 162°.  So after 1hr and 27min, the minute hand has done 360+162 or 522°.

we also know the minute hand is 2 inches long, thus

\bf \textit{arc's length}\\\\
s=\cfrac{\pi \theta r}{180}\quad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
\theta =angle~in\\
\qquad degrees\\
------\\
r=2\\
\theta =522
\end{cases}\implies s=\cfrac{\pi \cdot 522\cdot 2}{180}


which is roughly 18 inches rounded up.

What is the value of tan (B) in the diagram?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The correct answer is third option

1/√3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure we can see a right angled triangle ABC.

Right angled at C.

AB = 10

AC = 5

BC = 5√3

<u>Points to remember</u>

Tan θ = Opposite side/Adjacent side

<u>To find the value of tan(B)</u>

Tan B =  Opposite side/Adjacent side

 = AC/BC

 = 5/5√3

 = 1/√3

Therefore the value of tan(B) =  1/√3

Which of the following are operations in the algebra of sets?
postnew [5]

Answer:

Union and Intersection

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the algebra of sets define the properties and laws of the sets.

The basic operations of sets are,

Union, Intersection, Complement of a set and Equality of sets.

Since, the operations addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are the basic arithmetic operations of numbers.

i.e. they are not in the algebra of sets.

So, we get that out of the given options, the operations in algebra of sets are Union and Intersection.
