Question 373961: My son is working with angles in class. He has to tell what angle is on the analog clock showing the time 1:55. He said it's a right angle. I'm telling him it's an acute angle.
Can you advise?

A right angle is 90º. They would make a right angle at 3 o'clock.
At 1:55, it's less than 90º, which is an acute angle.
------------
At 1:55, the angle is 87.5º, close to a right angle.
