Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Δ CED and Δ CAB are similar thus the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
=
, substitute values
=
=
( cross- multiply )
12x = 156 - x ( add x to both sides )
13x = 156 ( divide both sides by 13 )
x = 12
Thus
AC = 156 - x = 156 - 12 = 144 → D
Answer:
18.326 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is basically asking us to find the arc length that the tip of the minute hand travels. The formula for an arc length is S=θr. So we need th find the angle that the minute hand passes through. We know that there is 360 degrees in a cicle and there is 12 stops around a clock, so divide 360 by 12 to find the degrees the minute hand travels every 5 minutes. We ge that every 5 minutes the hand travels 30 degrees, and 35 minutes is 7*5 so we multiple 30*7 to find the angular displacement, and we get 210 degrees. This equation uses radians though so we have to convert, which can be done doing , and we ge that θ is
so (
)(5)= 18.326 inches
