Question

How many degrees are in the measure of the smaller angle formed by the hour and

Answer 1

The answer is 30




WoSo at 7 PM, the hour hand is on 7 and the minute hand is on 12.

That is a gap of five hours.
The whole clock has twelve hours.

We know that a clock is a circle.
A circle has 360 degrees.
So, the 12 hours of a clock make 360 degrees.
Each hour is 360/12=30 degrees.
So, 5 hours makes 30*5=150 degrees.
