the hands of a clock form central angles.

\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "6:00 is straight up and down, 180 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "we know the hour hand covers 30 degrees in one hr
\n" ); document.write( "we know the minute hand covers 30 degrees in 5 min
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "12:05
\n" ); document.write( "The hour hand: $\"5%2F60\"$ *30 = 2.5 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "The minute hand: 5 min = 30 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "30 - 2.5 = 27.5 degrees is the angle between the hr and minute hand a 12:05
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "6:05
\n" ); document.write( "the hour hand: (6*30) + 2.5 = 182.5 degrees
