Question

Find the number of right angles turned through by the minute hand when it goes from (a) 2 to 5 (b)12 to 6

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 1 right angle

(b) 2 right angles

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) There is a difference of 30° in between 2 numbers on a clock ⌚

when it goes from 2 to 5, it will take a turn of 30° thrice (because 5-2=3), Thus it will take only 1 right angle

(b) It is clear visible on a clock that the difference (in angles) between 6 and 12 on a clock is 180°. Thus It will Take 2 right angles because 90 x 2 is 180

Hopefully You Got It Right!
