Question:

The large hand of a clock Is 42 cm long. How many centimetres does its extremity move in 20 minutes?

 

Solution:

For 20 minutes $=\theta=4 \times 30^{\circ}=120^{\circ}$

We know that l = r × θ

$\mathrm{I}=42 \times 120 \times \frac{\pi}{180}=28 \times \frac{22}{7}=88$

Therefore, the length is equal to 88 cm.
