a clock with a diameter of 23 feet. minute hand is 14ft., hour hand is 9 ft.
how much farther does minute hand travel than hr. hand in 24 hours.
:
Assuming this is a 12 hr clock, I guess they mean how far the tip of each hand travels.
:
24 times the circumference of the large hand - 2 times the circumference of the small hand
:
radius of small hand, 9; long hand 15
:
24(2%2Api%2A14) - 2(2%2Api%2A9)
