Find the angle between the hands of a clock when the time is 12:15 pm
To find the angle between the hands of a clock at 12:15 pm, we can use the formula:
Angle = |(30*hour - (11/2)*minutes)|
Where hour is the hour hand and minutes is the minutes hand.
In this case, the hour hand at 12:15 pm is pointing exactly at the 12, so the hour is 12 and the minutes hand is at 3.
Angle = |(30*12 - (11/2)*15)|
Angle = |(360 - 82.5)|
Angle = |277.5|
Angle = 277.5 degrees
Therefore, the angle between the hands of the clock at 12:15 pm is 277.5 degrees.
