1. The minute hand of a clock is 5 inches long. How far does thetip of the minute hand move in 55 minutes?
This what I did:
55" ()= 9.16667()=.0025 My answer is wrong I'm sure but Ihave a hard time with word problems period!
2.A pendelum swings at an angle of 25 degrees each second. Ifthe pendulum is 40inches long, how far does its tip move eachsecond? If necessary, round the answer to two decimal places?
I guess my issue is the distance part of these problems.I don't know what to do from there on.
