Why is 330 on clock not a right angle?
For 3:30 to be a right angle, the hour hand would point to the 3 and the minute hand would point to the 6. But the hour hand will be halfway between the 3 and the 4, hence not a right angle.Also, at 3:30 the angle of the hour hand would be at 105 degrees, the minute hand at 180, and the angular distance between both would be 75 degrees.
C code to find angle between hour hand and minute hand?
Lets start by thinking of a clock as a circle, with directly up being 0 degrees. At 12:00, both hands are at 0 pointing straight up. Every 60 minutes, the minute hand will make a complete revolution, so at any given time its angle is: minute_deg = minute * 360 / 60 = minute * 6; The hour hand will make a complete revolution every hour, so its formula is: hour_deg = hour * 360 / 12 = hour * 30; A function to find the angle would be: int angleBetweenHands(int hour, int minute) { if(hour > 12) // In case of 24 hour clock hour -= 12; int angle = hour * 30 - minute * 6; if(angle > 180) angle = 360 - angle; return(angle); }
What angle is gained by minute hand over the hour hand in one minute?
