To find: The measure of angle generated by hour hand of a clock from
The angle made by the hour hand is
The angle made by the minute hand is
Given information:
A person works every Saturday from
Explanation:
The diagram below shows the rotation completed by the hour hand of a clock during this time:
There are
So, one hour has:
Since there are
The hour hand will cover:
The rotation is clockwise so the angle covered by the hour hand will be
Multiply the value by
Hence, the value is
The minute hand makes a complete revolution in each hour.
Therefore, the revolutions made by the minute hand in
Now, compare this angle with the angle made by the hour hand:
Hence, the angle made by the minute hand is
