An analog clock shows 2:36 pm. What is the angle between the hour and minute hangs?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The minute hand has an angle of 216 degrees (36/60) with 12 o'clock
The hour hand is 2.6 way around the dial, and each integer is 30 degrees. This is 30*2.6=78 degrees.
The angle between them is the difference, or 216-78=138 degrees.
