The minute hand of a clock is 8 inches long and moves from 12 to 2 o'clock how far does the top of the minute hand move? express your answer in temrs of pie and then round to two-decimal places

The perimeter in 60 minutes is:

2 * pi * r

2 * pi * 8

50.26548246 inches

It moves from 12 to 2:

The perimeter will be:

(10/60) * (50.26548246)

Rewriting:

= (2/12) * (50.26548246)

= (1/6) * (50.26548246)

= 8.37758041

round to two-decimal places:

= 8.38 inches
