Question

colette is excited that her team is playing in the championship softball game today. the game starts at 2:00 p.m. find the unknown angle measure, x. x = \boxed{}^\circ save answer

Explanation:

Step1: Determine clock angle per hour

A clock is a circle (360°), with 12 hours. So each hour mark represents $\frac{360^\circ}{12} = 30^\circ$ per hour.

Step2: Calculate angle for 2 hours

The minute hand is at 12, hour hand at 2. The number of hours between 12 and 2 is 2. So angle $x = 2\times30^\circ = 60^\circ$.

Answer:

$60$
