Example 4 The minute hand of a watch is 1.5 cm long. How far does its tip move in 40 minutes? (Use ฯ€ = 3.14). We know that ๐‘™ = r ฮธ Here, r = minute hand of clock = 1.5 cm Finding Angle ๐œƒ Now we know that Minute hand make 1 revolution in 1 hour Hence we can say that, Minute hand completes 360ยฐ in 1 hour So, Degree completed in 1 minute = ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ”๐ŸŽ/๐Ÿ”๐ŸŽยฐ Degree completed in 40 minute = 360/60 ร— 40ยฐ = 240ยฐ Converting degree into radians ฮธ = 240ยฐ = 240ยฐ ร— ๐…/(๐Ÿ๐Ÿ–๐ŸŽยฐ) = ๐Ÿ’๐…/๐Ÿ‘ Putting values in formula ฮธ "= " ๐‘™/๐‘Ÿ " " ๐’ = r ฮธ = 1.5 ร— ๐Ÿ’๐…/๐Ÿ‘ = 0.5 ร— 4๐œ‹ = 2๐… = 2 ร— 3.14 = 6.28 cm
