The minute hand of the tower clock in the picture is 14 cm long. How far does its tip travel from the time shown until 9:40? (Take \π= 227.)

Question

Accepted Answer

44 cm. The clock shows 9:10, so the hand turns 30 minutes, i.e. half a circle. Distance = 12×2× 227×14=44 cm. (88 cm is a full circle.)
