and the houf hand Ui & CIOUIAt 5 o'clock, what are the obtuse angle and the reflex angle between the minute hand the hour hand of a clock?andSosoh of the following |
|
Answer» The minute hand travels 360°/60 = 6° per minute and the hour hand travels 360°/(60 x 12) = 0.5° per minute The time reference for such questions is always 12:00 hours when both minute and hour hands point towards 12 and make an angle of 0°. At 5:00, the minute hand would have effectively travelled for 0 minutes covering (0 * 6 = 0°) from reference point. The Hour hand would have travelled for 5 x 60 = 300 minutes. It covers an angle of 300 x 0.5 = 150° The angle between the two handsnowis 150°-0° = 150° |
