Question

The acute angle between the two hands of a clock when the time is fifteen minutes past five is​

Answer 1

Answer:

60°

Step-by-step explanation:

clock is round in shape soo it is equal to 360°.

Just taking from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock will be 180° (half of 360°).

Now take just 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock it will be 90°. because there are three gaps from 3 to 6, divide 90 by 3 that will be 30 each.

• i.e., 1 gap = 30°

Taking :

• 3 o'clock as 1
• 4 o'clock as 2
• 5 o'clock as 3
• 6 o'clock as 4

long hand i.e., minutes hand is at 1 (as per above instruction) and short hand i.e., hours hand is at 3

there are *two gaps* in between 1 and 3

• 2 x 30° = 60°
