5:29

Do you want the angle between the clock hands at 5:29? If so:

• Minute hand: 29 minutes × 6° = 174°
• Hour hand: 5 hours × 30° + 29 minutes × 0.5° = 150° + 14.5° = 164.5°
• Difference: |174° − 164.5°| = 9.5°

So the smaller angle is 9.5°. The reflex angle is 360° − 9.5° = 350.5°.

If you’re studying clock-angle problems, a handy formula is: angle = |30h − 5.5m|, with h the hour (mod 12) and m the minutes. Want more practice problems?
