Activity: Clocks and Angles

This activity is about Analog clocks and the angles made by the hands of the clock. You can find out more about angles and how they're measured on the page Degrees (Angles) .

What is the angle between the hands of a clock at 1 o'clock?

clock1

At 1 o'clock the minute hand (red) points to the 12 and the hour hand (blue) points to the 1. So we need to find the angle between the 12 and the 1.

How many of this angle are there in a complete turn?

clock2

There are 12 of them in a complete turn (360°), so each one must be 360° ÷ 12 = 30°

So the angle between the hands of a clock at 1 o'clock is 30° .

  • It doesn't matter whether we are talking about 1 am or 1 pm, the answer is exactly the same for both.
  • The angle between the hands at 1 o'clock could also be given as the reflex angle 330°,but we will always give the smaller (acute or obtuse) angle.

What is the angle between the hands of a clock at 2:30?

clock3

So how many lots of 30° do we have this time?

clock4

  • The angle between the 5 and the 6 is 30°
  • The angle between the 4 and the 5 is 30°
  • The angle between the 3 and the 4 is 30°
  • The remaining angle is ½ × 30° = 15°

So the angle between the hands of a clock at 2:30 = 30° + 30° + 30° + 15° = 105°

Complete the following table (give the smaller angle in each case):

Check your answers at the bottom of the page.

More Complicated Times

Finding the angle between the hands of a clock is easy as long as we don't use complicated times.

For example finding the angle between the hands at 9:37 is much more difficult. You can try that one if you wish, but it's probably too hard.

Example: At what times is the angle between the hands of a clock equal to 30°?

Notice that the question asks for 'times'. There are many possible answers.Some of them are easy to find, others much more difficult.

Here are two easy answers:

clock5

But what about this one?

clock6

At first glance, it looks like this might be a 30° angle also, but at 4:15, the hour hand has already moved a quarter of the way between the 4 and the 5.

So the angle is 30° + ¼ × 30° = 30° + 7½° = 37½°

This might be a more accurate answer:

clock7

Can you find more 30° angles like this one?

At what times of the day do the hands of a clock lie in a straight line?

In other words the angle between them is 180°?

One obvious answer is 6 o'clock:

clock8

But what other answers could there be?

9:15 is not correct for a similar reason that 4:15 didn't give us exactly a 30° angle ... the hour hand has moved on beyond the 9.

This seems to be a very difficult question to answer, but there is an easy way.

How many times between 6:00 am and 6:00 pm do the hands make a straight line?

There must be at least one point time for each hour:

  • one between 7:00 am and 8:00 am,
  • one between 8:00 am and 9:00 am,
  • one between 9:00 am and 10:00 am,
  • etc, up to ...
  • one between 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm

That makes 11 equal parts, and so:

The next time after 6:00 am that the hands make a straight line is about 7:05½ am :

clock9

Clock Angle Formula – Definition, Tricks, Examples, Facts, FAQs

What is a clock angle formula, clock angle formula calculations, how to find the angle between hands of a clock, solved examples on clock angle formula, practice problems on clock angle formula, frequently asked questions on clock angle formula.

The clock angle formula helps us determine the angle made by two hands of an analog clock at a particular time. Understanding different clock angles made by the hands of the clock is a wonderful way to relate the concept of time to the concept of angles in geometry.

We all use analog clocks every day to tell time . The analog clock has three hands to indicate three different units of time – hour hand, minute hand, and second hand. These hands move at different speeds. A clock has a total of 12 divisions that together form a complete angle of 360.

The clock angle formula is used to calculate the measure of the angle formed by the hour hand and the minute hand. 

An analog clock has 12 divisions. Between any two divisions, there is a $30^{\circ}$ angle.

Clock Angle Formula – Definition, Tricks, Examples, Facts, FAQs

In these 12 divisions, each division is further divided into five equal parts. Each small part represents one minute and an angle of $6^{\circ}$. 

A small division of 6 degrees representing a minute on a clock

Now, it will be easy for you to understand the following table of the divisions and its angular values. Note that this is the angle made by the minute hand from the 12 o’clock mark.

Three hands move at different speeds. Thus, the clock angle depends on the hands we consider in the measurement. Suppose we wish to measure the angle made by the minute hand and the hour hand. Let’s understand how many degrees each hand produces in one minute. It will help you in the calculations.

How Many Degrees Does an Hour Hand Move In a Minute? (Bold)

The hour hand completes $30^{\circ}$ in one hour. Thus, it covers $360^{\circ}$ (a full turn) in 12 hours. It means that each hour, it moves by $30^{\circ}$.

If the hour hand moves $30^{\circ}$ in 1 hour (60 minutes), then how many degrees does it move in a minute? It is $\frac{30^{\circ}}{60} =  0.5^{\circ}.$

Each minute, the hour hand moves by half a degree.

How Many Degrees Does a Minute Hand Move in a Minute? (Bold)

We know that 60 minutes make one hour. Thus, the minute hand completes $360^{\circ}$ in 60 minutes. Therefore, in 1 minute, the minute hand covers a $6^{\circ}$ angle.

Angle Between Hands of a Clock

We will discuss two cases to find the angle made by the hands of a clock.

Case 1: A Simple Clock Problem

When there is a full hour on a clock, determining the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand is simple. The angle is equal to the number of hours multiplied by $30^{\circ}$ since the minute hand is aimed at the number 12.

Example 1: Find the angle between the hands of a clock at 3 o’clock.

At 3 o’clock, the minute hand is at 12 and the hour hand is at 3. 

It means that the hour hand has covered the period of 3 hours. In other words, it has moved by 30 three times.

Thus, the angle made by the hour hand and the minute hand will be $30^{\circ} \times 3 = 90^{\circ}$.

The angle between the hands of a clock at 3 o'clock

Here, we can also see that there are two angles between the hands of an analog clock. The second one is an obtuse angle, which fills the space on the other sides of an hour and minute hand. We can find it by subtracting one angle from $360^{\circ}$.

Thus, the other angle is $360^{\circ}\;-\;  90^{\circ} = 270^{\circ}$.

Example 2: Find the angle made by the hour hand and the minute hand at 04:00.

Analog clock showing 04:00

At 4 o’clock, the hour hand is at 4 and the minute hand is at 12.

Number of hours $= 4$

Angle from the minute hand to the hour hand $= 30^{\circ} \times 4 = 120^{\circ}$ 

Other angle (from hour hand to the minute hand)$ = 360^{\circ} \;-\; 120^{\circ} = 240^{\circ}$

Angles made by the clock hand at 4 o’clock

Note that the angle is negative if we measure clockwise.

Case 2: Using a Clock Angle Formula

Let us look at the steps to find angle between hands of a clock using a clock angle formula with the help of an example.

Example: Find the angle made by the hands of a clock at 7:13.

Step 1: Draw the clock.

Analog clock reading 07:13

Step 2: Mark the angle between the minute hand and 12 o’clock. We know that the minute hand moves by 6° each minute. So, to calculate the angle between the minute hand and 12 o’clock, multiply the number of minutes by 6 degrees.

$Angle_{minutes} = 6^{\circ} \times$ Number of minutes

Here, the number of minutes $= 13$

$Angle_{minutes} = 6^{\circ} \times 13 = 78^{\circ}$

Step 3: Now, mark the angle between the hour hand and 12 o’clock. The hour hand moves with every minute. So, to find the correct angle, we also have to consider the number of minutes. 

Now, the hour hand moves 30° with every full hour, and then 0.5° every minute. So, the clock angle formula for the hour hand is:

$Angle_{hours} = (30^{\circ} \times$ Number of hours $) + (0.5\times$ Number of minutes $)$

In our case, the number of hours $= 7$

Number of minutes $= 13$

$Angle_{hours} = (30^{\circ} \times 7) + (0.5^{\circ} \times 13) = 210^{\circ} + 6.5^{\circ} = 216.5^{\circ}$

Step 4: Finally, find two clock angles. To find the first angle, find the absolute value of the difference of two angles:

  • First angle $= |\text{Angle in hours – Angle in minutes}|$
  • $\text{Second angle} = 360^{\circ} \;-\; \text{First angle}$

In our example,

  • First angle between clock hands $= |216.5^{\circ} \;-\; 78^{\circ}| = 138.5^{\circ}$
  • Second angle $= 360^{\circ} \;-\;  138.5^{\circ} = 221.5^{\circ}$

Facts about Clock Angle Formula

  • The two hands (the hour hand and the minute hand) move at different speeds.
  • An analog clock has 12 equal divisions. Each division represents  $30^{\circ} (\frac{360^{\circ}}{12} = 30^{\circ})$.
  • Speed of the minute hand $= 6^{\circ}$ per minute.
  • Speed of the hour hand $= 0.5^{\circ}$ per minute.
  • The second hand completes a $360^{\circ}$ angle in one minute.
  • The minute hand takes 60 minutes (1 hour) to complete a $360^{\circ}$ angle.
  • The hour hand completes a $360^{\circ}$ angle in 12 hours.

In this article, we have learned about the clock angle formulas, clock angle formula tricks, and methods of finding the angle by the hands of a clock. Let us solve some examples and practice problems to understand the concept better.

1. What is the angle between the hour hand and minute hand in an analog clock at 6 o’clock?

The angle between any two divisions is $30^{\circ}$.

The angle is equal to the hour multiplied by 30 degrees.

Angle between clock hands $= 30^{\circ} \times 6 = 180^{\circ}$

The angle between the hands of a clock at 6 o’clock is $180^{\circ}$.

2. At 5:00, what is the angle between the hour and minute hand on a clock? 

Solution: 

At 5:00, the hour hand is on the 5 and the minute hand is at the 12. 

There are 12 divisions on a clock. 

Each division represents a $30^{\circ}$ angle.

At 05:00, the hands are separated by 5 divisions.

Thus, the angle made by the hands is $30^{\circ} \times 5=150^{\circ}$.

The angle between the hour and minute hand on a clock at 5:00 is 150

3. Find the angle between the clock hands at 9:26.

Number of minutes $= 26$

$Angle_{mins} = 6^{\circ} \times 26 = 156^{\circ}$.

Number of hours $= 9$

$Angle_{hrs} = (30^{\circ} \times 9) + (0.5^{\circ} \times 26) = 270^{\circ} + 13^{\circ} = 283^{\circ}$.

First angle (from minute hand to hour hand) $= Angle_{hrs} \;-\; Angle_{mins} = 283^{\circ} \;-\; 156^{\circ} = 127^{\circ}$

Second angle (from hour hand to minute hand) $= 360^{\circ} \;-\;  \text{First angle} = 360^{\circ} \;-\; 127^{\circ} = 233^{\circ}$

According to clock angle formula theory, at 12 hours the measure between the hour hand and the minute hand is $360^{\circ}$.

How many times do the hands of a clock coincide in a day?

The hands of a clock coincide 11 times in every 12 hours (Since between 11 and 1, they coincide only once, at 12 o’clock).

The hands overlap about every 65 minutes, not every 60 minutes.

Therefore, the hands coincide 22 times in a day.

Key Concepts

To understand the Clock Angle Formula, we first need to understand some key concepts:

Hour Hand and Minute Hand: The hour hand is the shorter hand on the clock that shows the hour. The minute hand is the longer hand that shows the minutes past the hour.

Angle: The distance between two intersecting lines or near their point of intersection is known as an angle and is often measured in degrees.

Degree: A unit of measurement of angles, 1/360 of the circumference of a circle .

Discussion with Illustrative Examples

A clock determines the time of day. There are three hands: a second hand, a minute hand, and an hour hand.

clock angles worksheet

Hour and Minute Hand Derivation

A clock has 12 sectors; just like a circle, it has 360°.

The angle between two numbers or divisions is 30°. 

clock angles worksheet

12 hours=360°

1 hour=$\frac{360°}{12}$

The hour hand moves 30° in one hour; therefore, each minute, the hour hand moves by half a degree, that is, $\frac{30°}{60}$=0.5°

Between two divisions has a 5-minute interval or parts, and 1 minute is equivalent to 6°. 

clock angles worksheet

60 minutes=360°

1 minute=$\frac{360°}{60}$

1 minute=6°

The clock angle formula is used to solve the time or angle between a clock’s hour hand and minute hand. 

Minute hand’s angle with respect to the line at 12 o’clock:

Angle minutes =6°×Number of minutes

Hour hand’s angle with respect to the line at 12 o’clock:

Angle hours =(30°×Number of hours)+(0.5×Number of minutes)

The first angle between the clock hands

|Angle hours -Angle minutes |

The second angle between the clock hands

360°-First angle

The vertical bars “|” denote absolute value , meaning the result is always positive.

Two Clock Angles

The clockwise angle from the hour hand to the minute hand is the first angle between the clock hands.  The second angle between clock hands is the counterclockwise angle from the hour hand to the minute hand. 

clock angles worksheet

Examples with Solutions

Find the angle between the hour and minute hands at 9:00 PM. 

clock angles worksheet

Substituting the number of hours, 9, we have,

Angle hours =30°×9

Angle hours =270°

270° is the angle from the line at 12 o’clock to the minute hand.

Since a circle has 360°, we subtract 270° from 360°.

360°-270°=90°

Therefore, the angle between the hour and minute hands at 9:00 PM is 90°. 

If a clock shows at 3:10 AM, what is the measure of the two clock angles?

clock angles worksheet

Solve the angle between the minute hand and the line at 12 o’clock. 

Angle minutes =6°×10

Angle minutes =60°

The hour hand moves every minute. Calculate the angle for the hour considering the number of minutes. 

Angle hours =(30°×Number of hours)+(0.5°×Number of minutes)

Angle hours =(30°×3)+(0.5°×10)

Angle hours =90°+5°

Angle hours =95°  

To find the two angles, we have,

Therefore, the two angles if the clock shows 3:10 AM are 35° and 325°.

Real-life Application with Solution

Suppose you are making a poster for a school event scheduled to start at 8:15. You want to draw a clock on the poster showing the event’s start time. You want the clock to be accurate, so you need to find the angle between the hour and minute hand at 8:15.

Using the formula where 8 is the number of hours, and 15 is the number of minutes, we have,

Angle minutes =6°×15

Angle minutes =90°

Angle hours =(30°×8)+(0.5°×15)

Angle hours =240°+7.5°

Angle hours =247.5°

The angle between the clock hands

|247.5°-90°|

You must draw the hands 157.5 degrees apart on your poster!

Practice Test

Let’s see if you can figure out these angles on your own:

1. What is the clock angle between the hands at 4:00?

2. What is the clock angle between the hands at 10:00?

2. Clock angle between the hands at 10:00

Angle hours =(30°×10)+(0.5°×0)

Angle hours =300°+0°

Angle hours =300°

3. Clock angle between the hands at 7:20

Angle minutes =6°×20

Angle minutes =120°

Angle hours =(30°×7)+(0.5°×20)

Angle hours =210°+10°

Angle hours =220°

|220°-120°|

4. Clock angle between the hands at 9:15

Angle hours =(30°×9)+(0.5°×15)

Angle hours =270°+7.5°

  1. Activity: Clocks and Angles

    What is the angle between the hands of a clock at 1 o'clock? At 1 o'clock the minute hand (red) points to the 12 and the hour hand (blue) points to the 1. So we need to find the angle between the 12 and the 1. How many of this angle are there in a complete turn? There are 12 of them in a complete turn (360°), so each one must be 360° ÷ 12 = 30°
