if the minute hand is 8 inches long, it shows the radius of the circle of the clock.

thus, the circumference of the circle (boundary)= 2πr

= 2X 3.14 X 8    ( wherein, r= radius= 8; π= 22/7 or 3.14)

= 50.27 inches.

The length between each two consecutive no.s on the clock = 50.27/12 = 4.19

Thus, the length moved n=by the tip of the minute hand= 4.19X8

= 33.44 inches


Hope that this would be correct .

The minute hand is like an eight inch radius of a circle, whose circumference would equal 2 * PI * 8 = 50.265 inches.  By moving to 8 o'clock, it travels 2/3 of the circumference or 50.265 * 2/3 = 33.510 inches

Which two theorems would justify that m∠4 = m∠6, given that m∠5 = m∠6 in the diagram below?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer: D) vertical angles theorem, alternate interior angles theorem

Angle 5 = Angle 6 by the alternate interior angles theorem

Angle 5 = angle 4 by the vertical angles theorem

By the transitive property, we can then say angle 4 = angle 6. These angles are also corresponding angles.

We won't use the angle addition theorem or the right angles theorem.
