What angle do minute and hour hands of a clock make at 5:30

What angle is 5:30

=> 5 - hour hand and 30 - minute hand

=> Answer is acute angle

Because acute angle refers to angle with less than 90 degrees measurement. And since 5:30 = 5 and 6 numbers in clock, and note that 5 and 6 are place next to each other. Thus they formed acute angle.

Right angle in clock are, 3:00, 3:30, 6:45, 9:00, 9:30 and 12:15. This time all formed exactly 90 degrees

Obtuse angle are those that measure more than 90 degrees
