a) 45 degrees b ) 30 degrees c) 42 1/2 degrees d) 36 2/3 degrees
You can put this solution on YOUR website! if the clock on the wall reads twenty-five minutes after six, the smallest angle between the hour hand and the minute hand would be
a) 45 degrees b ) 30 degrees c) 42 1/2 degrees d) 36 2/3 degrees
------------------
Measuring the angles from 12:
The angle of the minute hand is (25/60)*360 = 150 degs
The angle of the hour hand is (6 25/60)*360/12 = (385/60)*30 = 192.5 degs
The difference = 42.5 degs --> c
