Find the measure of the angle between the hands of the clock in each figure:

In a clock, the angle between any two consecutive numbers = $\dfrac{360^\circ}{12}$ = 30°.

(i) The hour hand is at 10 and the minute hand is at 12. The angle covers 2 numbers.

Angle between the hands = 2 × 30° = 60°

(ii) The hour hand is at 12 and the minute hand is at 1. The angle covers 1 number.

Angle between the hands = 1 × 30° = 30°

(iii) The hour hand is at 5 and the minute hand is at 12. The angle covers 5 numbers.

Angle between the hands = 5 × 30° = 150°
