The face of a clock is divided into 12 equal parts. The radius of the clock face is 10 inches. Assume the hands of the clock will form a central angle. The face of a clock is divided into 12 equal parts. Which statements about the clock are accurate? Select three options. The central angle formed when one hand points at 1 and the other hand points at 3 is 30°. The circumference of the clock is approximately 62. 8 inches. The minor arc measure when one hand points at 12 and the other hand points at 4 is 120°. The length of the major arc between 3 and 10 is approximately 31. 4 inches. The length of the minor arc between 6 and 7 is approximately 5. 2 inches.

The accurate statements are:

  • b. The circumference of the clock is approximately 62.8 inches.
  • c. The minor arc measure when one hand points at 12 and the other hand points at 4 is 120°.  
  • e. The length of the minor arc between 6 and 7 is approximately 5.2 inches.

The given parameters are:

[tex]n = 12[/tex] --- number of parts

[tex]r = 10[/tex] --- the radius

(a) The central angle

Between points 1 and 3, there are 2 sections, each of which has a measure of 30 degrees.

So, the measure of the two sections is:

[tex]\theta = 30^o \times 2[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 60^o[/tex]

Hence, (a) is false

(b) The circumference

This is calculated using:

[tex]C = 2\pi r[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]C = 2 \times 3.14\times 10[/tex]

[tex]C = 62.8[/tex]

Hence, (b) is true

(c) The measure of the minor arc

Between points 12 and 4, there are 4 sections, each of which has a measure of 30 degrees.

So, the measure of the four sections is:

[tex]\theta = 30^o \times 4[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 120^o[/tex]

Hence, (c) is true

(d) The length of the major arc

Between points 3 and 10, there are 7 sections, each of which has a measure of 30 degrees.

So, the measure of the seven sections is:

[tex]\theta = 30^o \times 7[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 210^o[/tex]

The length of the arc is:

[tex]L = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]L = \frac{210}{360} \times 2 \times 3.14 \times 10[/tex]

[tex]L = \frac{13188}{360}[/tex]

[tex]L = 36.3[/tex]

Hence, (d) is false

(e) The length of the minor arc

There is only one section between points 6 and 7

So, the measure of the section is:

[tex]\theta = 30^o[/tex]

The length of the arc is:

[tex]L = \frac{\theta}{360} \times 2\pi r[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]L = \frac{30}{360} \times 2 \times 3.14 \times 10[/tex]

[tex]L = \frac{1884}{360}[/tex]

[tex]L = 5.2[/tex]

Hence, (e) is true
