Question

Answer quickly please. No links please. The length of the minute hand is 150% of the length of the hour hand.what distance will the tip of the minute hand move in 45 minutes? round to the nearest hundredth. the minute hand will move ? Answer quickly please.

Answer 1

Answer:

108π mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hour hand makes a full circle of 12 hr, in 45 min=0.75 hours it will will have made 0.75/12 of a full circle. Given that the tip of the hour hand travels along the circumference of a circle, the radius of circle will be equal to the lenth of the hand.  

But:

circumference is given by:

C=2*π*radius

The distance traveled by the hand in 12 hours will be:

2**36=76π mm

The distance traveled in 45 min will be:

0.75/12 *72π=4.5π mm

in 45min, the min hand will make 45/60=3/4 of a full circle. If the min hand is 150% of the hour hand, then its length is 150/100*36=54 mm.

Thus the tip of the minute will travel along the entire circuference of a circle with a 54 mm radius, this implies that for a full circle we shall have:

2*π*54mm=108π mm.

Hence;

in 45 min, the tip of the minute hand will have traveled 108*3/4*π=81π mm
