Answer :

Answer:

75 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

At 3:30, the hour hand is halfway between the 3 and the 4. The minute hand is exactly on the 6.

There are 360/12 = 30 degrees between each of the marked hours. The angle between the hands covers 2.5 of these gaps, so the angle between the hands is 2.5(30) = 75 degrees.

Hope this helps!

The angle between the hands at 3:30 pm is 90°.

What is the angle between the hands of a clock at 3:30 pm?

At that time, one hand points at the 3, and the other hand points at the 6.

Now, there is a rule to transform time into angles.

We know that a clock has 12 hours in a full revolution, and a circle has 360° in a complete revolution.

Then we know that:

12 hours = 360°

Then:

1 hour = (360°/12)  = 30°

So each between each number in the clock we have an angle of 30°.

Then, between 3 and 6 (3 hours) we have:

3*30° = 90°

The angle between the hands at 3:30 pm is 90°.
