A clock is constructed using a regular polygon with 60 sides. The polygon rotates each minute, making one full revolution each hour. The polygon has rotated 42 times after 7 minutes.
A polygon is known to be a plane figure with at least three equal sides and angles.
From the given information,
To estimate the revolution completed in 1 minute, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{360 \ ^ 0}{60 \ ^ 0} }[/tex]
= 6° per minute
Now, to determine how much the polygon has rotated after 7 minutes, we have:
= (6° / minute) × 7 minutes
= 42°
Therefore, we can conclude that the polygon has rotated 42° in 7 minutes,
