This problem is taken from the UKMT Mathematical Challenges . If you liked this problem, here is an NRICH task which challenges you to use similar mathematical ideas. Positive Angles: An angle that is rotated Counter Clock-wise or Anti clockwise is a positive angle. Angular speed of hour hand is 0.5°/minute. The hour hand is three-fourths of the way from the "4" to the "5; that is, With this in mind, we can say that each number represents an angle. Acute angles. An example of an acute angle is below: Obtuse angles. The measure of the angle between each number is given by . Acute angles are angles that have a measure of less than 90°. But each minute on the clock is 360 /60 =6 degrees . What is the obtuse angle between the hands of a clock at 6 minutes past 8 o'clock? So, 48 - 14 =34 minutes, the angle between the two hands of the clock. At 4:45, the minute hand is at the "9" - that is, at the mark. and ‘facts’ about angles around a point, on a straight line, inside and outside a triangle and other polygons and between a transversal and parallel lines. Explanation: . That is clear. On the little ends of the hands there are smaller angles. A clock takes the shape of a circle, which is composed of 360 degrees. For example, a clock showing 5 o'clock has an obtuse angle. The angle measure between any two consecutive numbers on a clock is .. For example, a capital letter "A" has an acute angle. The minute hand is at 48 minutes. Right angle and straight angle; Revolution in a clock; Acute, Obtuse, Reflex Angles Measuring angles; Measuring angles using protractor; Perpendicular Lines; Classifying triangles; Quadrilaterals; Polygons; 3 Dimensional Shapes Therefore, 34 minutes x 6 degrees =204 degrees. Angular speed of minute hand is 6 ° / minute. Relative to hour hand , the angular speed of minute hand is 5.5 ° per minute. Then they have to choose the appropriate rule to get the right answer to each calculation. An Obtuse Angle is just the opposite of an Acute Angle. Students often approach the topic of angles by memorising lots of vocabulary (acute, obtuse, right angle, etc.) There are 12 numbers on a clock that represent the hours. While practicing this, children will improve their concept on different types of angles (acute, right, obtuse, straight, reflex). Here student identifies type of angle formed by clock hands. At 5 o'clockLet one angle=xSec. The clock hands show a obtuse angle. Angle =360-xHalf of clock is =180°And is distributed in 30°eachTherefore 5×30=150°Second angle = 360-150=210°Mark ia as brainlie… Call the "12" point on the clock the zero-degree point. Obtuse angles are angles that have a measure of more than 90° but less than 180°. The second hand and the hour hand show an acute angle. In the following image, AB and BC intersect to form an angle that is greater than 90° and less than 180°. The hour hand has moved: 48 / 12 = 4 minutes after 2, which is 14 minutes from 12 O'clock.
