Question

Find the measure of the angle between hour hand and the minute hand of a clock at 20 minutes past 2

Answer 1

the angle is acute angle

Answer 2

In 20 minutes, the hour hand will sweep: However, the hour hand was 60 degrees ahead of the minute hand at the beginning of the hour. So we must add that to get (10 + 60) = 70 degrees. Therefore, the angle between the minute and hour hand shall be (120 - 70) = 50 degrees
