Calculate the angle between the hands of the clock
If the time is
6 :
32 Break out time components H =
6 M =
32 Calculate ∠ between 12 and 6 There are 360° in a full circle (clock)
There are 12 hours
Each hour = 360/12 = 30°
Hour Formula Hours = 30(
H )
Hours = 30(
6 )
θh = 180
Minute Formula Each minute is 1/60 of an hour.
Each hour represents 30 degrees.
Minutes Angle = M(30)/60 → M/2:
θm = 16
Calculate ∠ between the clock: Δθ Δθ = |θh + θm|
Δθ = |180 + 16|
Δθ = |196|
Hands in opposite direction: Clockwise + counter-clockwise = 360°
Subtract our clockwise angle from 360°
Angle 2 = 360 - 196°
Final Answer See Answer Δθ = 196°

Free Clock Angle Calculator - Calculate the angle on a clock between the hour and minute hands or how many times on the clock form an angle of (x°) between the minute and hour hand (backwards and forwards). Clock Angle Calculator
What 3 formulas are used for the Clock Angle Calculator?
θh = ½(60H + M)
θm = 6M
Δθ = |θh - θm|
