Question 11 • Geometry

Which statements about the clock are accurate? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
The central angle formed when one hand points at 1 and the other hand points at 3 is 30 degrees .
B
The length of the major arc between 3 and 10 is approximately 31 point 4 inches.
C
The circumference of the clock is approximately 62 point 8 inches.
D
The minor arc measure when one hand points at 12 and the other hand points at 4 is 120 degrees .
E
The length of the minor arc between 6 and 7 is approximately 5 point 2 inches.

Explanation

A clock has 12 equal sections, so each section measures 30°. From 12 to 4 spans four sections, giving a minor arc of 120°, so B is correct. If the clock’s circumference is 62.8 inches, the arc from 6 to 7 is one-twelfth of that, about 5.2 inches, and E is correct. A is incorrect because 1 to 3 spans two sections, or 60°, while the major arc from 3 to 10 is 210°, about 36.6 inches—not 31.4 inches.
