Question

How many degrees are in the measure of the smaller angle formed by the hour and minute hands of a clock when the time is 7 p.m.?

Answer 1

There are 12 hours on a clock, so each hour mark is 360/12 = 30 degrees from its neighbors. At 7:00, the minute hand points at the 12, while the hour hand points at hour 7. So, the hands are 5 "hours" apart, which means that the angle between the hands is 5 * 30 = 150 degrees.

Answer 2

Any degree less then 90 degree angles
