a.
\The parametric equations are and
.
The tip of the hour-hand will complete one full rotation around the clock between clock noon and
midnight.
It will complete another full rotation around the clock between midnight and
noon the next day.
Therefore, the hour-hand will complete full rotations around the clock from
noon to
noon the next day.
Since the parametric equations are written in terms of the trigonometric functions and
one full rotation will be completed every
, which is the period of these two functions.
Therefore, full rotations will be completed after
.
So, an interval for in radians that can be used to describe the motion of the tip is
.

From the trignometric identity : .
A rectangular equation that models the motion of the hour-hand is .
This equation is in standard form, so .
Thus, the radius of the circle traced out by the hour-hand is .
