98. The minute hand of a clock is 12 cm long. Find the area of the face of the clock described by minute hand in 35 minutes.

Fig. 12.58

Angle described by the minute hand in 60 minutes = 360°.
Angle described by the minute hand in 35 minutes

$equals 360 over 60 space straight x space 35 space equals space 210 degree$
Thus, we have,

$straight theta$ = 210 $degree$ , and r = 12 cm.
Therefore, required area

$equals space πr squared space straight x space straight theta over 360 equals space open square brackets 22 over 7 straight x space 12 space straight x space 12 space straight x 210 over 360 close square brackets space cm squared equals space 264 space cm squared$
