Question

What is the type of angle that is made by the minute hand and the hour hand in the clock shown below?

Answer 1

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

Observe the hour and the minute hands of 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.
