What is the angle of the hour and minute hands at 6 o’clock 3 o’clock 1 o’clock 5 o’clock?

The whole dial of the watch is a circle, the whole circle is 360 degrees. When the Clock shows 6, 3, 1 and 5 o’clock, the minute hand is at twelve o’clock anyway.

Thus, when the Clock shows the time at 6 o’clock, the angle is 180 degrees (the dial is divided into two equal halves, to find the distance between the hands, you need to divide 360 ​​degrees by 2)

When the time is 3 o’clock, the angle is 90 degrees, since the minute hand divides the dial into two segments, we are interested in a smaller segment, which is 1/4 of the dial, so it is equal to 360 degrees made by 4

The remaining two examples are solved in a similar way:

when the time is 1 hour, the angle between the minute and hour hands is 1/12 of the dial, that is, 30 degrees

when the time is 5 o’clock, the angle between the minute and hour hands is 5/12, that is, 150 degrees
