Question 996505: a clock tower in manila city hall has a minute hand that is 8 ft long. How far does the tip of the minute hand travel in 25 minutes? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 25 minutes is 25/60 of an hour or 25/60 of a circle. That is also 25/60 of a circumference. It reduces to 5/12.
Distance hand travels = (5/12)(2(pi)(8 ft) = 80/12 pi feet =
=(20/3)(pi) feet
