What is the degree measure of the smaller angle formed by the hour and minute hands of a 12 hour clock?

Mathematics

4 0

<u> 359.905 degrees</u> is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

when it comes to the hour hand it moves about 360 degrees in a 12 hour clock for instance let us take the time 6:15 then the calculation is

=(6+15/60) * 360÷12

= 187.5 degrees.

when it comes to the minute hand the minute hand travels 360 degrees for every 60 minutes in a 12 hour clock so if it is 5 mins past in the time 6:05 then it can be given as

15/60 * 360 = 90 degrees

Difference between the two hand can be  calculated by

(Angle turned by the hour hand) - (Angle turned by the minute hand)

<u>For a smaller angle let us take 12:01 </u>

= (12+1/60) * 360÷12

=360.5

for the minute hand

=1/60 = 0.595

(Angle turned by the hour hand) - (Angle turned by the minute hand)

= 360.5 - 0.595

=<u> 359.905 degrees</u>

12 10,9,68,12<br> What is the most appropriate measure of center?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer: The most appropriate measure of center is the median.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The measure of center generally represented by 1) mean 2) median 3) mode.
  • Mean is the best measure to represent the center of the data but when data have outliers it gets affected badly.
  • In that case, we use the Median as the best measure of center.

The given data is 12 10,9,68,12 .

As it can be seen that, the data have extreme value 68 ( called outliers).

In this case, we will use the Median as the best measure of center.

So, the most appropriate measure of center is the median.

Probably a for plot, because It shows how close each value is, or if the values are all scattered around. it gives you a more accurate ways of seeing how close the data is. hope this helped

What are the values of the variables in the triangle below?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

D) x=9 ; y=3√(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sin(30)=\cfrac{y}{6\sqrt{3} }

\cfrac{18y}{6\sqrt{3}}=18\sin \left(30^{\circ \:}\right)

\sqrt{3}y=9

\cfrac{\sqrt{3}y}{\sqrt{3}}=\cfrac{9}{\sqrt{3}}

y=3\sqrt{3}

~

Cos(30)=\cfrac{x}{6\sqrt{3} }

\cfrac{18x}{6\sqrt{3}}=18\cos \left(30^{\circ \:}\right)

\sqrt{3}x=9\sqrt{3}

\cfrac{\sqrt{3}x}{\sqrt{3}}=\cfrac{9\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}

x=9

Therefore, x=9 and y=3√(3)

Root of 108 is between______ and ______
natita [175]
Without using a calculator I would say the root is between 10 and 11 

How I found the answer:
I know 10 * 10 = 100
I know 11 * 11 = 121
So the root of 100 = 10 and the root of 121 = 11 so that means the root of 108 is somewhere between 10 and 11, which the root of 108 =  10.3923
