Answer:

Therefore,

The length of the path traced by the outer tip of the minute hand in one hour, is 88 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The length of the minute hand of a clock is,

Which is as Radius,

Therefore,

Radius = r = length of the minute hand = 14\ inches

pi = 22/7

To Find:

The length of the path traced by the outer tip of the minute hand in one hour, will be One full rotation, that is

Circumference, C = ?

Solution:

Circumference, is given by,

$Circumference = 2\pi r$

$Circumference = 2\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 14=88\ inches$

Therefore,

The length of the path traced by the outer tip of the minute hand in one hour, is 88 inches.

Find the distance between points A(2,3) and B(5,9) round to the nearest tenth

To calculate the distance between two points, we can use a formula that is a variation Pythagorean Theorem. Look:

$\mathsf{d=\sqrt{(x_B-x_A)^2+(y_B-y_A)^2}}$

"d" represents the distance and coordinates are expressed as follows: (x, y)

Let's go to the calculations.

$\mathsf{d=\sqrt{(x_B-x_A)^2+(y_B-y_A)^2}}\\\\ \mathsf{d=\sqrt{(5-2)^2+(9-3)^2}}\\\\ \mathsf{d=\sqrt{(3)^2+(6)^2}}\\\\ \mathsf{d=\sqrt{9+36}}\\\\ \mathsf{d=\sqrt{45}}\\\\ \mathsf{d=6.7082039324993690892275210061938...}\\\\ \underline{\mathsf{d\approxeq6.7}}$
