Question

6. Find the angle between the hands of a clock at 8:35

Answer 1

Answer:

47.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

The minute hand moves 6 degrees per minute. The hour hand moves 0.5 degrees per minute. At 8:35 the minute hand will be at the 210 degree position and the hour hand will be at the 257.5 degree position. 257.5 - 210 = 47.5 degrees between them.

Answer 2

Answer:

47.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

The minute hand moves 6 degrees per minute.

The degree  of minute hand at 8: 35 = 35 *  6 = 210°

The hour hand moves 0.5 degree per minute.

At 8 ' clock the the hour hand position = 240°

The position of hour hand at 8:35 = 240 + 35*0.5 = 240 + 17.5 = 257.5

Angle measure between the hands of clock at 8:35 = 257.5 - 210 = 47.5°
