Solution

The question asks for the angle between the two hands of a clock when the time is 6:00 in the morning.

At 6:00, the minute hand is at the 12, and the hour hand is at the 6. On a clock, there are 12 hour markings, and the angle between each hour marking is 3030^\circ (since 36012=30\frac{360^\circ}{12} = 30^\circ).

At 6:00, the two hands are exactly opposite each other, forming a straight line. Therefore, the angle between them is:

180180^\circ

Thus, the correct answer is B) 180180^\circ.

  2. How would you calculate the angle at 9:00?
  3. What is the angle between the hands of a clock at 2:30?
  4. At what times do the hour and minute hands form a 9090^\circ angle?
  5. What is the formula to calculate the angle between the clock hands at any given time?

Tip: The hands of a clock move constantly, so you can use a formula to find the angle between them at any arbitrary time: Angle=30H112M\text{Angle} = \left| 30H - \frac{11}{2}M \right| where HH is the hour and MM is the minutes.
