When the hour hand of the clock shows 8.00 AM in the morning and the 2.00 PM in the afternoon, the hand of the clock shows degrees:
Number of hours from 8am till 2pm= 6
The rotation of an hour hand in one hour= 30°
Total degree of rotation= 360°
Therefore, the Angle traced by the hour hand in 6 hours is= (360/12)*6 = 180°
Number of hours from 8am till 2pm= 6
The rotation of an hour hand in one hour= 30°
Total degree of rotation= 360°
Therefore, the Angle traced by the hour hand in 6 hours is= (360/12)*6 = 180°

Answer:
answer = 180°
Step-by-step explanation:
The hour hand at 8 o'clock in the morning is at 240 degrees measured from 12. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the hour hand will be at 60 degrees (or 420 degrees because it has to cross 12). So the hour hand has rotated through 420–240 = 180 degrees
