Where are the angles? Angles in a clock: Class 6

Question 1.

The hands of a clock make different angles at different times. At 1 o’clock, the angle between the hands is 30°. Why?

Solution:

It is because, at 1 o’clock, the angle made by the arms of the clock is obtained by dividing 360° by 12.

Thus, [latex]\frac{360^{\circ}}{12}[/latex] = 30°.

Question 2.

What will be the angle at 2 o’clock? And at 4 o’clock? 6 o’clock? Class 6

Solution:

At 2 o’clock, the angle [latex]\frac{360^{\circ}}{12}[/latex] × 2 = 60°.

At 4 o’clock, the angle will be [latex]\frac{360^{\circ}}{12}[/latex] × 4 = 120°

and at 6 o’clock, it will be [latex]\frac{360^{\circ}}{12}[/latex] × 6 = 180°.
