Algebra.Com's Answer #396977 by richwmiller(17219)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The minute hand travels 24 times around the face while the hour hand travels twice around the face in a day.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Besides that the circumference that the minute hand travels is larger. \n" ); document.write( "2pir=2pi*8=16pi for the minute hand \n" ); document.write( "2pir=2pi*6=12pi for the hour hand \n" ); document.write( "in one trip the minute hand travels 4pi more than the hour hand \n" ); document.write( "the hour hand travels 2*12pi=24pi \n" ); document.write( "the minute hand travels 24*16*pi \n" ); document.write( "24*16pi-24pi=24pi*(16-1) =24pi*15 more \n" ); document.write( "I bet you really want the 4 pi answer but the problem is poorly worded.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
