Transcript text: Estimate the measurement of the angle formed by the clock. Assume that the hands are pointing directly at the numbers. $45^{\circ}$ $60^{\circ}$ $120^{\circ}$ $150^{\circ}$

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the position of the hour hand.

The hour hand is pointing at 12.

Step 2: Identify the position of the minute hand.

The minute hand is pointing at 5.

Step 3: Calculate the angle.

Each number on the clock represents a 30° increment (360°/12 = 30°). Since the minute hand is at the 5, and the hour hand is at the 12, the angle between the hands is 5 * 30° = 150°.

Final Answer

\$\boxed{150^{\circ}}\$
