12 hour covers 360 degrees.
Then 360/12 = 30 degrees.
That is one hour.

Can we do like this;
(20/60)*30 = 10?

By common sense it is clear that in 20 minutes the minute hand will move 20*6=120degree and the hour hand will move20*(1/2)=10degree.
Clearly min hand will be at 20 and hour hand will be 10degree apart.

The perfect formula is 1/2|(60H - 11M)|.

@Rajkumar.

It should be 60 degree.

Rajkumar said:   10 years ago
What angle will form at 10 clock. Please explain?

Netsi said:   10 years ago
@4:20 is the hour hand @4? It moves a little towards 5.

This formula does not provide solution for all problems.

Ex. 11:43.

= 60*11 - 11*43/2.

= 187/2 = 93.5.

Which is not appropriate angle.
