Answer :
Answer:
The distance traveled is: 96.29ft
Explanation:
Given
[tex]r = 23ft[/tex] --- The minute hand represents the radius
Required
Distance traveled between 6:50 and 7:30
First, calculate the circumference (C) of the clock
[tex]C = 2\pi r[/tex]
[tex]C = 2*3.14*23[/tex]
[tex]C = 144.44ft[/tex]
Calculate the time difference between 6:50 and 7:30
[tex]t = 7:30 - 6:50[/tex]
[tex]t = 40\ minutes[/tex]
Next, calculate the rate per 60 minutes:
[tex]Rate = \frac{C}{60\ minutes}[/tex]
So, the distance traveled is:
[tex]d = Rate * t[/tex]
[tex]d = \frac{C}{60\ minutes} * t[/tex]
[tex]d = \frac{144.44ft}{60\ minutes} * 40\ minutes[/tex]
[tex]d = \frac{144.44* 40ft}{60}[/tex]
[tex]d = \frac{5777.6ft}{60}[/tex]
[tex]d = 96.29ft[/tex]
