Math Problem Statement
What are the angles of the hands of the clock when the time is 1:35?
Solution
To find the angles of the hands of the clock at 1:35, we need to calculate both the angle made by the hour hand and the minute hand.
1. Minute hand angle:
Each minute on the clock represents 6 degrees because: At 35 minutes, the angle of the minute hand is: So, the minute hand is at .
2. Hour hand angle:
Each hour on the clock represents 30 degrees because: At 1:00, the hour hand would be at , but at 1:35, the hour hand has moved slightly. It moves 0.5 degrees per minute because: In 35 minutes, the hour hand moves: Thus, the hour hand at 1:35 is:
Conclusion:
- The minute hand is at .
- The hour hand is at .

- How do you calculate the angle between clock hands at any given time?
- What time between 1:00 and 2:00 do the hour and minute hands overlap?
- How would the angles change at 2:35 instead of 1:35?
- How can this method be used to find the time when the hands form a specific angle?
Tip: To calculate angles quickly, remember that the hour hand moves 0.5 degrees per minute, while the minute hand moves 6 degrees per minute.
