the minute hand of a clock is 9cm long and the hour hand is two-thirds as long.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2F3\"$ *9 = 6cm is the length of the hr hand
\n" ); document.write( " How much farther than the tip of the hour hand will the tip of the minute hand move in one hour
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The minute hand will move the circumference of a circle with a radius of 9 cm
\n" ); document.write( "M = $\"2%2Api%2A9\"$
\n" ); document.write( "M = 56.55 cm in one hr
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The hr hand moves 1/12 of the circumference of a circle with a radius of 6 cm
\n" ); document.write( "H = $\"2%2Api%2A6\"$ * $\"1%2F12\"$
\n" ); document.write( "H = 3.14 cm in one hr
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The minute hand: 56.55 - 3.14 = 53.41 cm more than the hr hand \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
