Question

find the measure of the angle between hour hand and the minute hand of a clock at twenty minutes past two
​

Answer 1

In each hour, the hour hand goes 5 notches, or 30 degrees. Because it is now 20 minutes past the hour, a third of an hour has passed. One third of 30 degrees is 10 degrees. Thus, the hour hand is 10 degrees past notch #40.
