Question

What is the degree measure of the smaller angle between the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock at exactly 2:30 p.m. on a 12-hour analog clock?

Answer 1

105 Degrees

Explanation:

Answer 2

105°

Explanation:

We are supposed to find the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand at a time of 2:30 in a 12 hour analog clock.

So, we have 12 segments in a clock , each segment corresponding to an hour.

Angle of each segment would be :-

`(360)/(12) =30`

At 2:30 the minute hand will be facing 6 hour direction and the hour hand between hours 2 and 3.

So the angle between them would be

`3*30+15=105`

So the angle between the hour and the minute hand at time 2:30 is 105°.
