please explain to me how to do this thank you
1. The minute hand is 50 cm, so it can encircle an area of radius 50 cm, so the maximum distance it can go from the starting vertical line is 50 cm (when the hour hand points towards "3" or "9"), so a is 50.
2. It takes 60 full minutes for the minute hand to travel a full 360 degrees, so period is 60 minutes for every 2pi rotation for one complete cycle, so b is 2pi divided by 60.
