Can you find out the angle between the minute hand and the hour hand at 3:15 on an analog clock? Think hard and then come to a conclusion.
7.5 degrees
1 hr= 360 deg/12=30 deg 15 mins=30 deg/4=7.5 deg The hour hand travels 30*3+7.5=97.5 deg while the minute hand travels only 360 deg/4=90 deg the difference is 7.5 degrees
At 3.15, the minute hand will be in a horizontal position pointing to 3. The displacement of the hour hand can be easily calculated as follow; the angle between 3 and 4 is 360/ 12 = 30 degrees. In a quarter of an hour , the displacement or angle between the two hands will be : 30 / 4 = 7,5 degrees
Between 2 and 3 o'clock yesterday, " said the major, "I looked at the clock and mistook the minute hand for the hour hand , and vice versa. "Consequently, the time appeared to be 55 minutes earlier than it actually was. What was the correct time?
Dinesh was curious to know the angle between the hour and minute hands of a clock, so when he see10:10 in a clock he calculates the shorter angle between the hands. Which time will also make the same angle between the hour and minute hand as calculated by Dinesh?
At a given time, the hour and minute hands of a clock form an angle of 18 degree exactly . What is the minimum amount of time it takes that this will be the case again?
