🕰️ Clock Angle Calculator 🤔
At 5:15, the hour hand (short hand) is between 5 and 6, and the minute hand (long hand) is at 3.
Hour hand movement = 5 hours × 30°/hour + 15 minutes × 0.5°/minute = 150° + 7.5° = 157.5°
Minute hand movement = 15 minutes × 6°/minute = 90°
Angle between hands = |Hour hand movement – Minute hand movement| = |157.5° – 90°| = 67.5°
🎉 The angle between the hands of the clock at 5:15 is 67.5°! 🕰️
