The minute hand of a clock is 16cm long, how far will the tip of the minute hand travel in 1hour.

Circumference = 2 pi r

10 cm

To calculate the distance traveled by the tip of the minute hand in 1 hour, we need to know the circumference of the circle formed by the motion of the tip.

The circumference is calculated as:

C = 2πr

Where C is the circumference, π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14, and r is the radius of the circle.

In this case, the radius of the circle is the length of the minute hand, which is given as 16 cm.

So, the circumference can be calculated as:

C = 2 × 3.14 × 16 cm

C ≈ 100.48 cm

Therefore, the tip of the minute hand will travel approximately 100.48 cm in 1 hour.
