A clock is circular in shape with diameter 25cm. Find the length of the arc between the markings 12 and 5 rounded to the nearest tenth of cm
Between 12 and 5 we have (5/12) * 360° = 150°
The arc length is given by ;
2 pi ( diameter/2) * 150 / 360 =
2 pi * ( 25/2) * 5/12 =
[ 2 * 25 * 5 ] pi / [ 2 * 12] =
250pi / 24 ≈ 32.7 cm
Much obliged friend!!!
No prob...!!!!
