Question

What is the measure of the angle formed by

the hour and minute hand when the time to 10'

O clock?​

Answer 1

hiii...

5(half)degree and the minute hand moves 6 degrees. At 10′O clock the hour hand is at 10 and the minute hand is at 12 so the angle formed will be 30*2 =60 degrees.

i hope it would help.

Answer 2

Answer:

In a clock there are 12 hours and  clock's shape can be considered like a circle and is composed of 360° .

Degree in each hour = 360°/12 = 30°

So at 10'o clock, the angle formed by the hour and minute hand = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

• A clock's shape can be considered like a circle and is composed of 360° .
• There are 60 minutes in an hour, and 360 ÷60 = 6.

        Hence, the minute hand of the clock moves 6°  per minute.

• The hour hand takes 720 minutes  to move around the clock.

        360 ÷ 720= 0.5.

        Therefore, the hour hand moves 0.5 ° per minute.

• At 10 o'clock, the hour hand will move 600 out of 720 possible times from the top of the clock. 600 times 0.5 degrees = 300°
• At 10 o'clock, the minute hand will moved 0 out of 60 possible times from the top of the clock. 0 times 6 degrees = 0 °.
• 360° - (300 - 0)° = 60° degrees
