Question

Tony saw that the time in the clock is 03:45 a.m. What type of angle is made between the minute hand and the hour hand?

• A. Acute angle
• B. Obtuse angle
• C. Right angle
• D. Straight angle

Answer 1

The correct option is B Obtuse angle

An obtuse angle is an angle that lies bewteen 90${}^{\circ }$ and 180${}^{\circ }$.

Observe the given clock.
The angle made by the minute and hour hands is more than 90${}^{\circ }$ but less than 180${}^{\circ }$.

So, the angle between the minute and hour hands is an obtuse angle.
