The length of the minute hand of a clock is

14 inches. What is the length of the path traced

by the outer tip of the minute hand in one

hour? Use 22

7 for p.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of the minute hand = 14 inches

Time = 1 hour

Required

Length of the path traced in 1 hour

For, the minute hand to have completer an hour, this means it completes a cycle;

1 cycle is equivalent to 1 complete rotation;

So, basically the question implies that; the circumference of the complete rotation be solved for;

To solve for this; we make use of the circumference formula;

Where

C represents the circumference

r represents the radius or the length of the minute hand

--- This is given from the question;

By substitution, we have

Hence, the length of the path traced is 88 inches

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36
