Find the degree measure of the angle formed by the minute hand and the hour hand when it is 1:27
:
Convert minutes to degrees: 360/60 = 6 deg/min
:
27 * 6 = 162 degrees
:
Convert hours to degrees: 360/12 = 30 deg/hr
1 o'clock would be 30 degrees
:
Find the portion of an hour (in degrees) passed 1 o'clock (30 degrees)
:
*30 = 13.5 degrees
:
hour hand would be: 30 + 13.5 = 43.5 degrees
:
Subtract hour degrees from minute degrees
162 - 43.5 = 118.5 degrees the angle formed by the two hands
