Q3 ) The length of the minute hand of a clock is 14 cm. Find the area swept by the minute hand in 5 minutes.

NCERT Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 12 Areas Related To Circle

Clearly, minute hand of a clock describes a circle of radius equal to its length i.e., 14 cm. Since the minutes hand rotates through 6° in one minute, therefore, area swept by the minute hand in one minute is the area of sector of angle 6° in a circle of radius 14 cm. Hence, the required area i.e., the area swept in 5 minutes.
