Question:

The length of the minute hand of a clock is 7 cm. Find the area swept by the minute hand in 10 minutes.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          [Page No. 148]

Answer: Verified

In 60 minutes, minute hand completes a full circle (360360^\circ).

In 10 minutes, angle swept = 1060×360=60\frac{10}{60} \times 360^\circ = 60^\circ

Radius = 7 cm

Area swept=πr2×θ360=227×72×60360=227×49×16\begin{aligned} \text{Area swept} &= \pi r^2 \times \frac{\theta}{360^\circ} \\ &= \frac{22}{7} \times 7^2 \times \frac{60}{360} \\ &= \frac{22}{7} \times 49 \times \frac{1}{6} \end{aligned}
