Question

What is the angle between the hands of a clock at $3o\text{'}clock$.

Answer 1

Step 1

As we know in one hour, the hour hand makes $\frac{360°}{12}=30°$ angle with minute hand

Step 2

At $3o\text{'}clock$, the minute hand is on the $12$ and the hour hand is on the $3$

So The angle between two hands $=3\times 30°=90°$

Hence, At $3o\text{'}clock$, the angle formed between the two hands of a clock is right-angle $\left(90°\right)$.
