Find the angle in radius between the hands of a clock at 7: 20 p. m. |
|
Answer» We know that the hour hand completes one rotation in 12 hours while the minute hand completes one rotational in 60 minutes. ∴ Angle traced by the hour hand in 7 hours 20 minutes i.e., \(\frac{22}{3}\) Hours \(= (\frac{360}{12}\times\frac{22}{3})\)° = 220° Also, the angle traced by the minute hand in 60 minutes = 360° ⇒ The angle traced by the minute hand in 20 minutes = \( (\frac{360}{60}\times20)\)= 120° Hence, the required angle between two hands = 220° - 120° = 100° |
