Starting with the hands in a straight line on the same side of the centre, consider how the hands move:
At 12 o'clock they are in a straight line on top of each other. In 1 hour, the minute hand has moved a full circle, but the hour hand has moved forward a bit, so they are in a straight line again when the minute hand a moved a bit more. This will be repeated for each hour, but when the hour hand reaches the 12 again, the hands will have been in line 11 times in the 12 hours. So the hands are in line every 12/11 hours, or 1 hour 5 mins 27 3/11 seconds, giving the times as (rounded to nearest second):
12:00:00, 1:05:27, 2:10:55, 3:16:22, 4:21:49. 5:27:16, 6:32:44, 7:38:11, 8:43:38, 9:49:05, 10:54:33
When considering the hands in line on opposite side of the centre similar logic can be applied as before and so it is known that the hands will line up every 1 hour 5 mins 27 3/11 seconds, thus when the hands are lined up opposite the centre, the times will be (to the nearest second):
6:00:00, 7:05:27, 8:10:55, 9:16:22, 10:21:49, 11:27:16, 12:32:44, 1:38:11, 2:43:11, 3:49:05, 4:54:33
12:00, 3:15, 1:05, 4:20...ETC.

Can angles of 70 45 and 65 form angles on a straight line?
Yes because angles on a straight line add up to 180 degrees
If two angles are supplementary to the same angles then?
they form a straight line
Could the segments 9 8 17 form a triangle?
No, they could only form a straight line.
How many 60 degree angles can make a straight line?
3 times.
Does displacement have to be in a straight line?
Displacement of a straight line is zero...
From noon to midnight how many times do the hands of the clock form a straight line?

How many times do the hands on the clock form a straight line?
2
What times are the arrows on a clock in a straight line?
0600
How many times are the hands of a clock in straight line but opposite in direction?
60 times
When do the hands of a clock form a straight line?
The hour and minute hands are in a straight line opposite each other at 6 o`clock, and at 10 other times during any 12-hour period, for a total of 22 times a day.They also overlap 22 times a day, at 20 times other than at 12 o'clock.(see related question)
Draw a straight line through the clock.?
Easy.
How do you draw a straight line through the clock?
You can draw a straight line in a clock when the hour hand, and the minute hand, are facing the opposite direction to each other. For an example 6:00,2:45,etc
What a straight angle?
A straight angle is 180o better known as a straight line. The hands of a clock showing a quarter past nine forms a straight angle.
What does the intersection of two plances form?
If they do intersect, they will form a line.
What is the standard form of a straight line?
I would claim that a straight line is slightly bend as we define straight from the horizon.
Do a straight line and a curved line form avertex at its joining point?
A tangent at that point where a straight line just touches a curve and a secant line when the straight line bisects the curve.
If two angles are supplementary and are on the same line what do they form?
a straight line
