The diameter of a clocks face is 6 inched find the length of the minor arc formed by the hands of the clock at 4:00 to the nearest hundredth
The radius of the clock is 3 = r
And the angle betwen the hands = 120° = (2/3)pi rads
And the arc length formula is given by :
s = rΘ where s is the arc length and Θ is in rads
So we have....
s = 3 (2/3)pi = 2 pi = 6.28 in
