You looked at the clock at. 3:15. How many degrees are in the angle between the hour and minute hand?Hint it is not zero
Answers
Answer:
Since the hour hand moves 360° in 12 hours, that is 30° in one hour, or 7.5° in 15 minutes. The minute hand is pointing to the 3 (for 15 minutes) since it moves 360° in 60 minutes. That is, 90° in 15 minutes.
Answer:
7.5 degrees are in the angle between the hour and minute hand.
Step-by-step explanation:
An angle stands the figure formed by two rays, named the sides of the angle, sharing a standard endpoint, called the vertex of the angle. Angles formed by two rays lie in the plane that includes the rays. Angles exists also formed by the intersection of two planes. These are named dihedral angles.
At a quarter past the hour, the minute-hand exists exactly at 3:00 but the hour-hand has moved 1/4 of the course between 3:00 and 4:00. Thus 1/4 times 1/12 = 1/48 of the clock. With the clock containing 360 degrees, 360/48 = 7.5 degrees.
Hence, 7.5 degrees exist in the angle between the hour and minute hand.
