Question

What does the angle made by the hour hand of the clock look like when it moves from 5 to 8.

Answer 1

Answer:

A clock includes number from 1 to 12 which are equally spaced on circumference of circle.

A complete revolution is 360 degrees

Angle between between two numbers =

12

360

=30 degrees

Hence angle made by hour hand of the clock when it moves from 5 to 7 is 60 degrees which is not more than one right angle.

Answer 2

The angle made by the hour hand of the clock when it moves from 5 to 8 is 90°.

• A clock is marked from one to twelve, dividing it into twelve equal parts or segments.
• The hour hand moves 360° for every twelve hours.
• So, the time interval between 5 to 8 would be three hours.
• Three hours out of twelve can be written as,

        $\frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4}$

• One-fourth of 360° can be calculated as,

        $\frac{1}{4} * 360 = 90$

• So, the hour hand makes an angle of 90° when it moves from 5 to 8.
