Question

find the angle between hour and minute hand in the mirror image of 10:30

Answer 1

Answer:

Here we will show you how to calculate the angle in degrees made by the hour hand and minute hand on a 12-hour clock at 10:30.Below is an image of what the clock looks like at ten-thirty (10:30) so that you can see where the hour hand and the minute hand are located.Before we continue, note that a clock is shaped like a circle and is composed of 360 degrees. There are 60 minutes in an hour, and 360 degrees divided by 60 minutes is 6. Therefore, the minute hand moves 6 degrees per minute.It takes 720 minutes for the hour hand to move around the clock. 360 degrees divided by 720 minutes is 0.5. Therefore, the hour hand moves 0.5 degrees per minute.As you can see, the hour hand and minute hand showing 10:30 on the clock make an angle. We used the hands to make the pie chart below so it is easier to visualize what we are calculating. The hour hand and minute hand on a clock showing 10:30 actually make two angles: The hour hand to the minute hand is outlined in blue, and the minute hand to the hour hand is outlined in red.
