In analog clock is considered a circle.
The total angle formed by a circle is 3600
Now we need to find out the angle between the hour and minute hand.
Now we need to calculate the angle of hour and minute hand by considering the reference position as number 12.
Angle of minute and hour hand is calculated from number 12 in clock.
Angle formed by a circular clock
|
3600
| ||||
Angle of minute and hour hand calculated from
|
Number 12
| ||||
Time taken by minute hand for one revolution
|
3600=60min
| ||||
Angle formed by minute hand in I min
|
1min =60
| ||||
Time taken by hour hand in one revolution
|
3600= 12 hours
| ||||
Angle formed by hour hand in 1 hour
|
300= 1 hour
| ||||
Angle between hour and minute hand at 12 15
(here the angle is calculated from 12 since it is considered as 00Hrs 15Min) | |||||
Convert 00Hr 15Min into hours
|
=00+(15/60)
=00+(1/4)
=(0+1)/4
=1/4 Hrs
| ||||
Angle formed by hour hand 1/4 Hrs
|
=(1/4)x300
=1x7.5
=7.50
| ||||
Angle formed by minute hand in 15 min
|
=15x6
=900
| ||||
Difference in angle between minute and hour hand
|
=900-7.50
| ||||
=82.50
| |||||
Angle between hour and minute hand at 12 15 is 82.50
