In 7 minutes, the clock has rotated 42 degrees
Solution:
Given, A clock is constructed using a regular polygon with 60 sides.
The polygon rotates every minute.
As there will be 60 minutes in clock, and this clock has 60 sides, each minute represents a side.
Now we know that, in a clock, 1 hour = 60 minutes
60 minutes = 360 degrees
Then, 7 minutes = “n” degrees
So, by criss cross multiplication,
[tex]\begin{array}{l}{n \times 60=360 \times 7} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=6 \times 7} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=42}\end{array}[/tex]
Hence, in 7 minutes, the clock has rotated 42 degrees
