Question

I will give you brainilest.

You might think that the angle between the hour and minute hand at 2:20 is 60 degrees, but it is not! The hour hand has moved beyond the 2. Calculate the angle between the clock hands at 2:20.

Answer 1

70 degrees

Explanation:

Moving from one hour number to the next (12 to 1, 3 to 4, etc) moves the hand of the clock 30 degrees. Using this, we know that the hour hand moved 60 degrees to get to the hour number 2. Then, the angle the hour hand moved because of the minute hand can be calculated by doing (20/60)*30=10. So the final answer would be 70 degrees.
