2. What is the measure of the angle determined by the hands of a clock at five o’clock?

Solution:

5/12 × 360 = 150˚

3. A circle is divided into 6 equal parts. Find the measure of an arc.

Solution: 360˚ ÷ 6 = 60˚


4. A right triangle is inscribed in a circle whose diameter is 10 cm. Find the perimeter of the right triangle if the length of
one of its legs is 3 cm.

Solution:
