Answer:

The tip of the minute hand travels 20.9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the minute hand of a clock is 8 inches long. And we have to find that how far does the tip of the minute hand travel as the time progresses from 12:00 to 12:25.

<u>So, firstly we will find the circumference of circle;</u>

       Circumference of circle (C)  =  2\pi r   {where r is radius of circle}

                                                      =  2 \times \pi \times 8   {given r = 8 inches long}

                                                      =  16 \pi

Now, as we know that the minute hands completes the full circle in 60 minutes, therefore, the length of the arc between time 12:00 to 12:25 represents  \frac{25}{60}  which is  \frac{5 }{12}  of the circumference, that means;

The length of arc from time 12:00 to 12:25  =  \frac{5}{12}\times \text {Circumference of circle}

                                                                       =  \frac{5}{12} \times 16 \pi

                                                                       =  \frac{20}{3} \pi = 6.67\pi

Now, assuming value of \pi = 3.14; so 6.67\pi =  6.67 \times 3.14 = 20.9 inches (in nearest tenth)

Hence, the tip of the minute hand travels 20.9 inches.
