According to the problem, 1hour = 60'.
Then 6 hours = 360', hence 360'/12 hours = 30'.
The difference between 2 0'clock and 8 0' clock is 6 hours.
Therefore the solution is 30' * 6 hours = 180 degrees.
Then 6 hours = 360', hence 360'/12 hours = 30'.
The difference between 2 0'clock and 8 0' clock is 6 hours.
Therefore the solution is 30' * 6 hours = 180 degrees.

Formula- 30H - 11/2 M.
Here hours (H) given 6 and minutes (M) 0
So, 30 * 6 - 11/ 2 * 0.
30 * 6 = 180.
All these type problems solved by this formula.

In 8-2 clock.
The difference between clock 8-2 is = 6hours.
So, 6H = 6 * 30 = 180.
Here 1 H = 30 degrees.
The difference between clock 8-2 is = 6hours.
So, 6H = 6 * 30 = 180.
Here 1 H = 30 degrees.

Hour rotates for one hour is 30 degree?
But in our problem difference from 8 to 2 is 6 hours.
So multiply 6 hrs * 30°
Answer is 180°.
