The face of a clock is divided into 12 equal parts. The radius of the clock face is 6 inches. Assume the hands of the clock will form a central angle. Which statements about the clock are accurate? Check all that apply.

Answer:

Option (i),(iii), (v) are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, the face of a clock is divided into 12 equal parts.

Angle of each part = [tex]\frac{360}{12}[/tex] = 30°

(i) When one hand points at 2 and the other points at 4, this is can be divided into two parts, 2 to 3 and 3 to 4.

The angle formed = 2 (30) = 60°

Option (i) is correct

(ii) The circumference of the clock is ,

Circumference of circle = 2πr,

where r is the radius = 6 and π = 3.14.

Substituting the values in the formula, we get

Circumference of circle = 37.68.

Option (ii) is wrong.

(iii) With one hand at 5 and the other at 10, this is 5 parts

The angle formed= 30(5) = 150°.  

The arc length =[tex]\frac{150}{360}[/tex](37.68) = 15.7

Option (iii) is correct

(iv) When one hand points at 1 and the other points at 9, this is 4 parts,

30(4) = 120°.  T

Option (iv) is wrong

(v) The length of the minor arc from 11 to 2, this is 3 parts

3(30) = 90°  

minor arc from 7 to 10 is 3(30) = 90°  

Option (v) is correct

Answer: options 1,3,5
