The big ben clock tower in London has clocks on all four sides. If each clock has a minute hand that is 11.5 feet in length, how far does the tip of each hand travel in 52 minutes?

The distance traveled by the tip of the minute hand of the clock would be 62.59 ft

Explanation:

Let us assume the shape of the clock is circular.

the minute hand is equal to the radius = 11.5 ft

Diameter = radius x 2

Diameter = 11.5 x 2 = 23 ft

The distance traveled by the tip of the minute hand can be calculated thus;

the fraction of the circumference traveled by the minute hand would be;

52/60 = 0.8667

Circumference of the clock would be;

C = pi x d

where C is the circumference

pi is a constant

d is the diameter

C = 3.14 x 23

C = 72.22 ft

Therefore the fraction of the circumference covered by the minute hand would be;

72.22 ft x 0.8667 = 62.59 ft

Therefore the distance traveled by the tip of the minute hand of the clock would be 62.59 ft

d would be the most obvious choice to this question. leaders are supposed to herd their underlings like a shepherd to sheep. a leader should also listen to others when they are talking to one other to gain a better understanding of their mission and surroundings.
