Answer:
18.326 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is basically asking us to find the arc length that the tip of the minute hand travels. The formula for an arc length is S=θr. So we need th find the angle that the minute hand passes through. We know that there is 360 degrees in a cicle and there is 12 stops around a clock, so divide 360 by 12 to find the degrees the minute hand travels every 5 minutes. We ge that every 5 minutes the hand travels 30 degrees, and 35 minutes is 7*5 so we multiple 30*7 to find the angular displacement, and we get 210 degrees. This equation uses radians though so we have to convert, which can be done doing [tex]\frac{210}{1} *\frac{\pi }{180}[/tex], and we ge that θ is [tex]\frac{7\pi }{6}[/tex] so ([tex]\frac{7\pi }{6}[/tex])(5)= 18.326 inches
