What is the angle (in degrees) of the minute and hour hands of the clock at 5:00?

To solve the problem, you need to remember what a clock is from a mathematical point of view. The clock is a circle. The sum of all the angles of the circle is 360 degrees. The clock is divided into 12 segments of 30 degrees each. 5 o’clock means that the hour hand has turned 5 * 30 = 150 degrees. And the minute hand remained unchanged. Thus, we can say that the minute and hour hands at 5:00 form an angle of 150 degrees.
