What is the number of degrees in the smaller angle formed by the hour and minute hands of a clock at 9:30?
A clock is divided into 12 hours, meaning each hour is 30 degrees.
at 9:30, the minute hand will be at 6, and the hour hand will be halfway between 9 and 10. this will create an angle of 90 degrees (minute hand to 9 oclock) PLUS 15 degrees for the movement of the hour hand for a final answer of 105 degrees.
Hope this helped!
