Question

what is the angel between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock,when the time is 2.20​

Answer 1

Answer:

50 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

At 2:00, the minute hand is at the zeroth degree, while the hour hand is at the 60th degree, i.e. the hour hand is 60 degrees ahead of the minute hand.

In 20 minutes, the minute hand will sweep:

6degmin∗20 min=120 degrees

In 20 minutes, the hour hand will sweep:

0.5degmin∗20 min=10 degrees

However, the hour hand was 60 degrees ahead of the minute hand at the beginning of the hour. So we must add that to get (10 + 60) = 70 degrees.

Therefore, the angle between the minute and hour hand shall be (120 - 70) = 50 degrees.

Answer 2

Answer:

Angle between hour hand and minute hand is 135
