If it were 3:00 precisely then it would be 90 degrees.
The minute hand moves 360 degrees per hour so 5 minutes makes it 30 degrees closer to the hour haned.
The hour hand moves 360 degrees per 12 hours (720 minutes) so 5 minutes make it move 2.5 degrees further from the minute hand.
90 degrees -30 degrees + 2.5 degrees = 62.5 degrees
Answer:
30° angle between the minute and the hour hands, when they show 3:05 PM.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : 3:05 PM
To find : What is the measure of the angle between the minute and the hour hands.
Solution : We have given clock that showing time 3:05 PM
We know that clock make the complete angle that is 360 degree.
We know 1 hour = 60 minute.
So, angle formed by 60 minute = 360 °.
Angle formed by 1 minute = [tex]\frac{360}{60}[/tex].
Angle formed by 1 minute = 6°.
According to question :
At 3:05 pm
Total minute between minute hand and hour hand is 5.
So. Angle formed by 5 minute = 5 * 6 .
Angle formed by 5 minute = 30° .
Therefore, 30° angle between the minute and the hour hands, when they show 3:05 PM.
