Calculate the angle between the hands of the clock

If the time is 10:00

Break out time components

H = 10

M = 00

Calculate ∠ between 12 and 10

There are 360° in a full circle (clock)

There are 12 hours

Each hour = 360/12 = 30°

Hour Formula

Hours = 30(H)

Hours = 30(10)

θh = 300

Minute Formula

Each minute is 1/60 of an hour.
Each hour represents 30 degrees.

Minutes Angle = M(30)/60 → M/2:

θm =	M
	2

θm =	00
	2

θm = 0

Calculate ∠ between the clock: Δθ

Δθ = |θh + θm|

Δθ = |300 + 0|

Δθ = |300|

Hands in opposite direction:

Clockwise + counter-clockwise = 360°

Subtract our clockwise angle from 360°

Angle 2 = 360 - 300°

Final Answer

Δθ = 300°
Angle 2 = 60°

What is the Answer?

Δθ = 300°
Angle 2 = 60°
