What is the total radian measure of the angle the minute hand travels in $4$ full rotations?

• A. $2\pi$
• B. $8\pi$
• C. $12\pi$
• D. $4\pi$

Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Recall that one full rotation corresponds to an angle of \$2\pi$ radians.
2. Since the minute hand completes 4 full rotations, multiply the angle for one rotation by 4.
3. Set up the multiplication: \$4 \times 2\pi$ radians.
4. Simplify the expression to find the total radian measure traveled by the minute hand.
5. Express the final answer as a multiple of \(\pi\) radians.
