Q7. - Geometry

Question

At $11$ o’clock the hands of a clock form an angle of $?.$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The angle formed between the hands of the clock  is $330°.$

Step 1. Given information:

The time in the clock $=11.$

Step 2. Concept used:

   A clock is a circle made of $360°$, and that each number represents an angle and the separation between them is $\frac{360}{12}=30°$.

Step 3. Applying the concept:

  A clock is a circle made of $360°$, and that each number represents an angle and the separation between them is $\frac{360}{12}=30°$.

And at $11$ o’clock minute hand is on $12$ and the hour hand is on $11$.

So the angle formed between the clock hands is 

       $11\times 30°=330°$                      

Therefore, the angle formed between the minute hands and hour hand is $330°.$
