There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 20 minutes is 20/60 = 1/3 of the circle \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "circumference(C) of the circle is pi * D, where D is the diameter \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "D = 2 * r, where r is the radius \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "For our problem, \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "D = 2 * 5 = 10 cm \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "C = pi * 10 = 31.4286 cm \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "******************************************************** \n" ); document.write( "The end of the large hand moves 31.4286 / 3 = 10.4762 cm \n" ); document.write( "in 20 minutes \n" ); document.write( "******************************************************** \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
