OpenStudy (will.h):

am not that good at trigonometry so bare w me :)

OpenStudy (will.h):

in part 1 i am guessing that since a circle has a total of 360 degrees then we will have to divide am not sure what...

OpenStudy (mww):

remember there are 60 minutes for a full hour and hence a revolution of 360 degrees So the time difference 3:35 to 3:55 is 20 minutes. What angle in degrees does this make?

OpenStudy (will.h):

would it be like 360/60 = 6 and then multiply by 20?

OpenStudy (mww):

Other way round, we need the fraction of 360 degree revolution. Then we convert to radians: \[\pi ~radians = 180^{0} \rightarrow 1^0 = \frac{ \pi ~rad}{ 180 } \rightarrow x^0 = \frac{ x \pi }{ 180 } rad\]

OpenStudy (will.h):

so what does x equal to so we can simplify right?

OpenStudy (mww):

x is just the angle in degrees. Once you find the right angle the hand has moved, you can convert it to radians by multiply pi with the angle in degrees divided by 180

OpenStudy (will.h):

is this correct? for part 1 1st to find the degree a circle have 360 degree so 360/60 which equals 6 which means that we have 6 per min so for 5 mins we have 5 * 6 = 30 degrees And now to convert it to radians so 30/180 = 1/6 so the measure would be pi/6 is that right or did i do something wrong?

OpenStudy (mww):

well problem is you didn't have 5 minutes, did you?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

will than you check my posted image between 9 and 6 has a right angle with measure of 90 degree - yes ?

OpenStudy (will.h):

oh sorry my mistake i thought the wanted to find the 5 mins so the answer is 6 degrees per min and we need to convert that to radians ?

OpenStudy (will.h):

Correct jhony

OpenStudy (mww):

well from 3:35 to 3:55 that is 20 ,minutes. So if you say 6 degrees per minute. Do 6 x 20 for that time = 120 degrees and convert to radians.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so now just numerate the angle measure between 35 and 55 how many degrees has

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes mww exactly so

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

there are 120 degree

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

5 minutes mean 30 degrees

OpenStudy (mww):

I'll now help for question (ii) The tip of the minute hand forms an arc of a circle as it moves. The length of arc is given by this equation \[l = r \theta \] where r is the radius and theta is your angle of motion. So plug in your values here.

OpenStudy (will.h):

so 120 degrees is 2.0944 So for part 1 the answer would be 1st to find the degree a circle have 360 degree so 360/60 which equals 6 which means that we have 6 per min so for 20 mins we have 20 * 6 = 120 degrees And now to convert it to radians so 30/180 = 1/6 so the measure would be 2.0944 correct?

OpenStudy (mww):

I recommend you write your answer in exact terms if you can (i.e as multiples of pi)

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes will using pi is more usefully

OpenStudy (will.h):

For part 2 what does r equal to and theta is 120 correct?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

will i gtg - good luck bye bye and was my pleasure

OpenStudy (will.h):

Thank you so much Jhony i will write testimonial for you 2 after this

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok good bye and ty

OpenStudy (mww):

go back to your question. your hand is sweeping out an ar|dw:1473327755796:dw|
