A bee flies at 6 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for 10 minutes, and then flies directly back to the hive at 4 feet per second. It is away from the hive for a total of 12 minutes.
a What equation can you use to find the distance of the flowerbed from the hive?
b. How far is the flowerbed from the hive?
a. Write the equation. Let d be the distance of the flowerbed from the hive.

Answer: d. 39 cmin the diagram, the approximate length of the minor arc de is 39 centimetres.step-by-step explanation: the formula for the length of an arc in a circle is as displayed below.let the length of the minor arc de = xx = 2( pi )r × angle of sector / 360°from this, we will substitute the values given from the problem into the formula to obtain the length of the minor arc de.x = 2( pi )r × angle of sector / 360°r = radius = 25cmpi as an approximate value = 3.14angle of sector = 120°x = 2( 3.14 )( 25 ) × 120° / 360°x = 157 × 1 / 4x = 39.25x = 39 ( rounded to the nearest whole number as an approximate value )
