Question

a) 10 75 4. Find the angle between the two hands of a clock at 3:25 p.m. a) 47.50 b) 77.50 c) 48.50 d) 46,59​

Answer 1

Answer:

47.50

Step-by-step explanation:

As, the hour hand covers 360 degrees in 12 hrs.

In the clock the time is 3.25 = 3 hrs 25 min = 41/12 hrs.

So, the angle traced by hour hand = (360/12 x 41/12) degrees = 205 degrees.

The minute hand covers 360 degrees in 60 minutes.

So, the angle is traced by minute hand in 25 min = (360/60 x 25) degrees = 150 degrees.

Hence, the required angle of the clock = (150- 205/2) degrees = 95/2 degrees.

=47.50 degrees
