The answer to this is A,C, E! Hope this helps!

The statement about the clock that is correct is as follows:

  • The central angle measure when one hand points at 2 and the other points at 4 is 60°
  • With one hand at 5 and the other at 10, the minor arc formed by the hands is about 15.7 in
  • The length of the minor arc between 11 and 2 is the same as the length of the minor arc between 7 and 10

The face of the clock is divided into 12 parts. The radius of the clock face is 6 inches.

Let's find the central angle when one point of the clock hand is at 2 and the other is at 4.

Therefore,

each angle = 360 / 12 = 30°

From 2 to 4 should be 30 × 2 = 60 degrees.

The circumference of the clock = 2πr

The circumference of the clock = 2 × 3.14 × 6 = 37.68 inches

When one hand is at 5 and the other is at 10.

length of the arc formed = 150 / 360 × 2 × 3.14 × 6 = 5652 / 360 = 15.7 inches

The minor arc measure when one hand points at 1 and the other hand points at 9 is 30 × 8 = 240°.

length of arc formed between 11 and 2 = 90 / 360 × 2 × 3.14 × 6 = 3391.2 / 360 = 9.42 inches

Length of arc formed between 7 and 10 = 90 / 360 × 2 × 3.14 × 6 = 9.42 inches

Therefore, the correct options are as follows:

  • The central angle measure when one hand points at 2 and the other points at 4 is 60°
  • With one hand at 5 and the other at 10, the minor arc formed by the hands is about 15.7 in
  • The length of the minor arc between 11 and 2 is the same as the length of the minor arc between 7 and 10
