A clock shows the time 12:40
The hour hand is 0.8m long and the minute hand is 1.4m long.
- Calulate the angle the hour hand has moved through since 12:00 Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! All the way around is 60 minutes
The fraction of the way around at
12:40 is
-------------------------
All the way around is also 360 degrees degrees is the angle
that the minutes hand has gone around
----------------------------------
The hour hand travels 5 minutes on the clock
when the minute hand travels 60 minutes,
so this fraction, must be
multiplied by the angle that the minute
hand has traveled.
----------------------
The minute hand has moved through 20 degrees
from 12:00 to 12:40
