Answer:
Part 1: radians
Part 2: The minute hand travels inches.
Part 3: The minute hand travels radians.
Part 4: The coordinate point is
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part 1:</u>
There are 60 minutes in an hour. 1 hour is 1 revolution (1 circle), which is 360°.
So each minute represents degrees
From 3:35 to 3:55 is 20 minutes. Hence, 20 minutes is degrees.
<u><em>To convert from degrees to radians, we multiply the degrees by </em></u>
120° is equal to radians
<u>Part 2:</u>
We want to find the "arc length" of this.
Formula for arc length is
Where,
- s is the arc length
- r is the radius (here the minute hand was given as 4 inches)
- is the angle in radians (we found it to be )
So,
The minute hand travels inches.
<u>Part 3:</u>
Here we use the arc length formula where we want to find given that and radius is 4 inches. So we have:
The minute hand travels radians.
<u>Part 4:</u>
The coordinate point associated with a specif radian is given by the formula:
Thus the coordinate point is
