The minute hand of a clock is 8 inches long. To the nearest tenth of an inch, how far does the tip of the minute hand travel as the time progresses from 12:00 to 12:25.

The tip of the minute hand travels inches

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.

So, firstly we will find the circumference of circle;

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

                                                      =     {given r = 8 inches long}

                                                      =  

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    which is    of the circumference, that means;

The length of arc from time 12:00 to 12:25  =  

                                                                       =  

                                                                       =   = 6.67

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

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

chase is right because he already been to the swings and he know how far it will be to get there
