Question

Find the angle formed by the arms of a clock at: (i) 3 O’clock (ii) 6 O’clock

Answer 1

Answer:

A clock is a circle made of 360 degrees, and that each number represents an angle and the separation between them is 360/12 = 30.

So,

1)And at 3:00, the minute hand is on the 12 and the hour hand is on the 3.

=> 3*30=90°

2)And at 6:00, the minute hand is on the 12 and the hour hand is on the 6.

=> 6*30=180°

Hope it helps
