Like Clockwork (Posted on 2004-02-27)

A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand length 3.

What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?

The position of the tip of the minute hand Geometry Dash can be represented by the coordinates (4cosθ, 4sinθ), and the position of the tip of the hour hand can be represented by the coordinates (3cos(θ/12), 3sin(θ/12)).
