\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we can calculate the angle using the following formula\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"angle=%2811M%29%2F2-30H\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "where \"M\"=minutes and \"H\"=hours\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in your case\"+M=55\" and \"H=8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"angle=%2811%2A55%29%2F2-30%2A8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"angle=62.5\" degrees
