Answer:

AB = 10√3 cm or 17.32 cm

Distance covered = 20.95 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The minute hand of a clock is 10cm long. how far does the tip of the hand moves in 20 minutes

Minute hand completes a cycle of 360° in 60 minutes

in 20 minutes = 120°

Length of arc covered in 20 minutes = (120°/360°)2 (22/7) * 10

= 440/21 cm

= 20.95 cm  ( this is distance covered by tip)

Let say AB is the Arc

but Tip will be far only for straight line

so we need to calculate Length of AB straight line

Angle at center O = 120°

OA = OB = Radius = 10 cm

Let draw Perpendicular bisector from O at AB as M

∠AOM = ∠BOM = 120°/2 = 60°

Sin60° = AM/OA

=> √3 / 2 = AM /10

=> AM = 10√3 / 2

AB = 2AM

=>AB = 10√3

=> AB = 17.32 cm

Tip wil be 17.32 cm far
