First, we should figure out the area of the entire face of the clock because we need that information to solve the problem. The formula for the area of a circle is A=pi*r^2. Since we know that r (radius) is equal to 11.25 feet, we can plug this in for r and solve for A: A=pi*11.25^2 which equals A=397.61 ft^2 rounded to the nearest hundredth. 

Now, to find the area the hand sweeps over in 5 minutes, we should determine how much of the clock the hand sweeps over in 5 minutes. Think about it like this: since 5 minutes goes into 60 minutes 12 times (60/5=12), then 5 minutes is one twelfth of the clock's face. Therefore, we are going to divide the total area by 12 (397.61/12) to get 33.13 ft^2, so the answer is C.

I hope this helps.

Float rate_of_pay  a declaration for a variable rate_of_pay that can hold values like 11.50 or 12.75.

What is   float rate_of_pay?

  • In contrast to fixed (or unchangeable) interest rates, floating interest rates change on a regular basis. Companies that offer credit cards and mortgages frequently use floating rates.
  • Floating rates follow the market, a benchmark interest rate, an index, or both.

Is a fixed or floating rate preferable?

  • In a rising rate environment, banks offer fixed rate loans at a higher rate than variable rate loans in order to profit more from the latter when rates rise.
  • Fixed rate loans may have interest rates that are 300–350 basis points higher than floating rate loans.
