a clock is constructed using a regular polygon with 60 sides. the polygon rotates each minute, making one full revolution each hour. how much has the polygon rotated after 7 minutes?\n14°\n21°\n35°\n42°

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Find rotation per minute

Since the polygon makes one - full revolution (360°) in 60 minutes, the rotation per minute is $\frac{360^{\circ}}{60}=6^{\circ}$.

Step2: Calculate rotation in 7 minutes

Multiply the rotation per minute by the number of minutes. So, the rotation in 7 minutes is $6^{\circ}\times7 = 42^{\circ}$.

Answer:

42°
