the minute hand of a clock is 8in long and moves from12 to 2 o'clock. How far does the tip of the minute hand move? express the answer in term of pie and then round to two deciaml places....
---------
Circumference = 2(pi)r
Your Problem:
circumference = 16(pi) inches
-------------
From 12:00 PM to 2:00PM the minute hand travels twice around the clock
Distance traveled is 2*16(pi) = 32(pi) = 100.53 inches
