Question

A clock is constructed using a regular polygon with 60 sides. The polygon rotates every minute. How much has the polygon rotated after 7 minutes?

Answer 1

1 rotation/ 1 minute means 7 rotations / 7 minutes
360 degrees = one rotation
so (360 degrees)(7)/ 7 minutes = 2520 degrees/ 7 minutes.
The polygon has completed 7 rotations, the equivalent of 2520 degrees, after 7 minutes have passed.


;)
Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

After $7$ minutes, the polygon will have been rotated at $42$°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The clock is constructed using a regular polygon.

Number of sides= $60$

The polygon rotates each minute.

Number of revolutions in $60$ minutes that is $1$ hour = 1

In one revolution, there are $360$°

In one minute, degree of rotation will be-

$\frac{360}{60}$=$6$

In 7 minutes,

Degree of rotation= $6$×$7$=$42$°
