The formula for finding the angle between the hands of a clock is |(30h - 5.5m)|, where h is the hour hand and m is the minute hand.
The hour hand is the shorter hand and the minute hand is the longer hand on a clock. The hour hand also moves at a slower pace than the minute hand, with one full rotation every 12 hours compared to the minute hand's one full rotation every 60 minutes.
No, the angle between the hands of a clock is always positive, as it represents the shortest distance between the two hands.
If the angle is less than 90 degrees, it is acute. If it is exactly 90 degrees, it is right. If it is greater than 90 degrees, it is obtuse.
No, the formula for finding the angle between the hands of a clock only applies to analog clocks with hour and minute hands. Digital clocks do not have hands and therefore do not have an angle between them.
