length of minute hand on the clock is 7 inches .
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have , The circumference of a clock is 44 inches. We need to find that , the length of the minute hand on the clock. Let's find out:
We know that circumference of a clock(circle) = [tex]2\pi r[/tex]
Circumference = 44 inches , So
⇒ [tex]Circumference = 2\pi r[/tex]
⇒ [tex]44 = 2\pi r[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{44}{2\pi } = \frac{2\pi r }{2\pi }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]r = \frac{44}{2\pi }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]r = \frac{44}{2(3.14) }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]r = \frac{44}{6.28 }[/tex]
⇒ [tex]r = 7 inches[/tex]
Since , radius of clock = length of minute hand on the clock .
Therefore , length of minute hand on the clock is 7 inches .
