Question

Emma is looking at a clock. She observes the angle between the minute and hour hands as shown. Help her write the name of the angle formed by the hands of the clock.

• A. $\angle AOB$
• B. $\angle ABC$
• C. $\angle BAO$
• D. $\angle OAB$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\angle AOB$

Look at the given image.While naming an angle, we need to keep the vertex in the middle of the two rays.

Here, O is the vertex, and OA and OB are the two rays.

Therefore, the angle in the clock is $\angle AOB$.
