Answer:

38°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Cosine rule in Δ ABC

cos A = $\frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}$

where a, b and c are the sides of the triangle.

Here a = 5, b = 3 and c = 7 , thus

cos A = $\frac{3^2+7^2-5^2}{2(3)(7)}$ = $\frac{9+49-25}{42}$ = $\frac{33}{42}$ , thus

∠ A = $cos^{-1}$ ( $\frac{33}{42}$ ) ≈ 38°

How many radians does the minute hand of a clock rotate through over half an hour? How many degrees?

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

So minute hand will rotate $\pi radian$ in half an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

In one hour minute hand of clock rotate about 360°

So in half an hour minute hand clock rotate $\frac{360}{2}=180^{\circ}$

We have to find how many minute hand rotate in radian

For conversion of degree to radian we have to multiply with $\frac{\pi }{180}$

So $180^{\circ}=180\times \frac{\pi}{180 }=\pi radian$

So minute hand will rotate $\pi radian$ in half an hour
