The angle between hour hand and a minute hand at 7:30 is *
Answers
Answer:
45°
Step-by-step explanation:
At 7:30 the minute hand is at 6 and it makes an angle of 6*30 = 180 deg from 12.
At 7:30 the hour hand is between 7 and 8 and it makes an angle of 7*30+30*30/60 = 210 +15 = 225 deg from 12.
At 7:30 the hour and minute hands make an angle of 225 - 180 = 45 deg between them.
To find:
The angle between hour hand a minute hand at 7:30
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer to the given picture to see where the hands of hour and minute lie when it is 7:30.
We know that, a clock is of 360°, since a clock is a circle.
When it is 7:30, the hands of hour and minute make 1/8 of the total angle.
So the measure of angle at the time
= 1/8 × 360°
= 45°
Answer:
The required angle is 45°.
Note:
Our resulting angle is 45° even when the time is 1:30, 2:30, 3:30, 4:30, ... ..., 11:30 or 12:30.
