The **point **will **move **37.68 feet in a hour.
What is Circumference?
The **circumference **of the circle, also known as the **perimeter **of the circle, is the measurement of the circle's boundary . The area of a circle, on the other hand, defines the region it occupies. If we open a circle and draw a straight line through it, the length of the line is the circumference. It is typically measured in units such as centimetres or metres.
We have the minute hand is 6 ft long.
So, the **radius **= 6 feet
Then, the **distance travelled **by the tip is
= 2πr
= 2 x 3.14 x 6
= 12 x 3.14
= 37.68 feet
Thus, the **minutes **hand **travel **37.68 feet.

The tip of the minute hand of a clock, which is 6 ft long, moves approximately 37.68 feet in an hour. This distance is calculated by finding the circumference of the circle traced by the hand. Using the formula C = 2 π r , where r is the length of the hand, we determine the distance traveled.
