Question

What is the measure of the angle of the minute hand that rotates on an analog clock in one hour?

• A. 360 degrees
• B. 180 degrees
• C. 90 degrees
• D. 270 degrees

Answer 1

The correct option is A 360 degrees

We know that the minute hand completes one full circle in an hour.

It can be observed from the figure that the minute hand rotates one full angle in 1 hour.
$\because$ $1$ full angle $={360}^o$

Hence, the measure of the angle that the minute hand rotates in one hour is ${360}^o$.
