Question

what is the angle made by the hour hand and minute hand of a clock at 2:25pm?

Answer 1

Answer:

77.5º

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 divisions in a clock

12 divisions = 360º

1 division = 360 ÷ 12 = 30º

⇒ 5 mins = 30º

Find the angle made by the minute hand (with reference to 12 O'clock)

5 min = 30º

25 mins - 30 x 5 = 150º

Find the angle made by the hour hand (with reference to 12 O'Clock)

Angle made by the hour hand = (2 x 30) + (25/60 x 30)

Angle made by the hour hand = 60 + 12.5

Angle made by the hour hand = 72.5º

Find the angle made by the hour hand and the minute hand at 2.25 pm:

Angle = 150 - 72.5 = 77.5º

Answer: 77.5º
