\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Draw the picture
\n" ); document.write( "Let the position of the 12 correspond to zero degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "The small hand is at (1/12)(360) = 30 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "The large hand is at (3/4)360 = 270 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "So the large angle formed by the hands is 270-30 = 240 degrees.
\n" ); document.write( "The small angle formed the hands is 30+90 = 120 degrees.
