EduRev Class 6 answered |
let angle be x and y
x + y = 180
as x is acute , x < 90
then y > 180 means greater than 90
so that there sum would be 180
x + y = 180
as x is acute , x < 90
then y > 180 means greater than 90
so that there sum would be 180

Option 'A' is correct because...
Revolution = 360 degree
One fourth of revolution = 1X360/4
=90 degree
Since right angle is an angle whose measurement is 90 degree it is an right angle :)
Revolution = 360 degree
One fourth of revolution = 1X360/4
=90 degree
Since right angle is an angle whose measurement is 90 degree it is an right angle :)

Kalyan Sengupta answered |
Answer:
To find the fraction of a clockwise revolution that the hour hand of a clock turns through when it goes from 7 to 10, we need to determine the angle covered by the hour hand and express it as a fraction of a full revolution (360 degrees).
1. Calculate the angle covered by the hour hand in three hours:
- The hour hand moves 360 degrees in 12 hours since a clock completes one full revolution in 12 hours.
- Therefore, in one hour, the hour hand moves 360/12 = 30 degrees.
- In three hours, the hour hand would move 30 x 3 = 90 degrees.
2. Calculate the angle covered by a full revolution:
- A full revolution is 360 degrees.
3. Express the angle covered by the hour hand as a fraction of a full revolution:
- Fraction = Angle covered by the hour hand / Angle of a full revolution
- Fraction = 90/360
- Fraction = 1/4
Therefore, the fraction of a clockwise revolution that the hour hand of a clock turns through when it goes from 7 to 10 is 1/4, which corresponds to option 'B'.

- Fraction = 1/4

Debolina Shah answered |
To solve this problem, we need to first understand the concept of a clockwise revolution and how it relates to the hour hand of a clock.
Clockwise revolution: A complete clockwise revolution is when the hour hand of a clock completes a full circle and returns to its starting position, which is 12 o'clock.
Hour hand: The hour hand of a clock represents the hours that have elapsed since the start of the day. It moves at a slower pace than the minute hand, which represents the minutes that have elapsed since the start of the hour.
Now, let's look at the question again. We need to find out what fraction of a clockwise revolution the hour hand of a clock turns through when it goes from 1 to 10. Here's how we can solve this problem:
Step 1: Determine the distance between 1 and 10 on a clock face.
We know that a clock face has 12 hour markers, so the distance between 1 and 10 is 9 hour markers.
Step 2: Calculate the angle between 1 and 10.
To calculate the angle between 1 and 10, we need to know that a full circle has 360 degrees. Since there are 12 hour markers on a clock face, each hour marker represents 30 degrees (360 degrees ÷ 12 hour markers = 30 degrees).
Therefore, the angle between 1 and 10 is:
9 hour markers × 30 degrees per hour marker = 270 degrees
Step 3: Determine what fraction of a clockwise revolution the hour hand turns through.
We know that a full clockwise revolution is 360 degrees, so we need to express 270 degrees as a fraction of 360 degrees.
270 degrees ÷ 360 degrees = 3/4
Therefore, the answer is 3/4, which means that the hour hand turns through 3/4 of a clockwise revolution when it goes from 1 to 10 on a clock face.

Now, let's look at the question again. We need to find out what fraction of a clockwise revolution the hour hand of a clock turns through when it goes from 1 to 10. Here's how we can solve this problem:
Step 1: Determine the distance between 1 and 10 on a clock face.

To calculate the angle between 1 and 10, we need to know that a full circle has 360 degrees. Since there are 12 hour markers on a clock face, each hour marker represents 30 degrees (360 degrees ÷ 12 hour markers = 30 degrees).
Therefore, the angle between 1 and 10 is:
9 hour markers × 30 degrees per hour marker = 270 degrees
Step 3: Determine what fraction of a clockwise revolution the hour hand turns through.
We know that a full clockwise revolution is 360 degrees, so we need to express 270 degrees as a fraction of 360 degrees.
270 degrees ÷ 360 degrees = 3/4
Therefore, the answer is 3/4, which means that the hour hand turns through 3/4 of a clockwise revolution when it goes from 1 to 10 on a clock face.

Angle Measurement
An angle is formed when two lines or line segments meet at a common point. The measurement of an angle is based on the amount of rotation between the two lines, which is usually expressed in degrees.
Types of Angles
There are several types of angles based on their measurements. Let's briefly discuss them before addressing the specific question.
1. Zero Angle: An angle that measures 0 degrees is called a zero angle.
2. Acute Angle: An angle that measures less than 90 degrees is called an acute angle.
3. Right Angle: An angle that measures exactly 90 degrees is called a right angle.
4. Obtuse Angle: An angle that measures more than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees is called an obtuse angle.
5. Straight Angle: An angle that measures exactly 180 degrees is called a straight angle.
6. Reflex Angle: An angle that measures more than 180 degrees but less than 360 degrees is called a reflex angle.
The Zero Angle
A zero angle is a unique type of angle that measures 0 degrees. It can be visualized as two lines or line segments overlapping each other. Since there is no rotation or inclination between the lines, the angle formed is considered to be zero.
Why is the Answer 'A' - Zero Angle?
In the given question, it is stated that an angle measures 0. Based on the types of angles mentioned above, we can conclude that an angle measuring zero degrees is referred to as a zero angle. This means that the correct answer to the question is option 'A'.
It is crucial for students to understand the different types of angles and their measurements to solve geometry problems accurately. The concept of angles is extensively used in various mathematical and real-world applications, such as measuring distances, calculating areas, and determining shapes.

Anirban Saini answered |
Explanation:
When two lines are perpendicular to each other, they form a right angle. A right angle measures 90 degrees. Therefore, the measure of the angle between the two lines is 90 degrees.
Proof:
To prove that the angle between two perpendicular lines is 90 degrees, we can use the concept of alternate angles and the fact that the sum of angles in a straight line is 180 degrees.
1. Let's assume that line L is perpendicular to line M.
2. We can draw a transversal line that intersects both L and M.
3. When a transversal intersects two lines, it creates a pair of alternate angles.
4. Since L and M are perpendicular, the alternate angles created by the transversal will be congruent (equal in measure).
5. Let's label the alternate angles as angle 1 and angle 2.
6. Now, let's consider the straight line formed by line L, the transversal, and line M.
7. The sum of angles in a straight line is 180 degrees.
8. Therefore, angle 1 + angle 2 = 180 degrees.
9. Since angle 1 and angle 2 are congruent, we can rewrite the equation as 2 * angle 1 = 180 degrees.
10. Solving for angle 1, we get angle 1 = 90 degrees.
11. Hence, the measure of the angle between the perpendicular lines L and M is 90 degrees.
Conclusion:
The measure of the angle between two lines perpendicular to each other is always 90 degrees. Therefore, the correct answer is option D) 90.
When two lines are perpendicular to each other, they form a right angle. A right angle measures 90 degrees. Therefore, the measure of the angle between the two lines is 90 degrees.

9. Since angle 1 and angle 2 are congruent, we can rewrite the equation as 2 * angle 1 = 180 degrees.
10. Solving for angle 1, we get angle 1 = 90 degrees.

1/2 Revolution:
- A clock completes 1 full revolution in 12 hours.
- Therefore, 1/2 revolution will be equivalent to 6 hours.
- Starting from 3, if the hand moves clockwise for 6 hours, it will stop at 9.
Therefore, the hand of the clock will stop at 9 if it starts at 3 and makes 1/2 of a revolution clockwise. So, the correct answer is option 'A'.

When the hour hand of clock turn 3 right angles from 12 to 9.
3 right angles = 3/4
The fraction of clockwise revolution when it goes from 12 to 9 is 3/4
3 right angles = 3/4
The fraction of clockwise revolution when it goes from 12 to 9 is 3/4

Explanation:
When a clock starts at 3 and makes 1/4 of a revolution clockwise, let's analyze what happens to the position of the hour hand.
1. The clock has 12 numbers (1 to 12) representing the hours.
2. A complete revolution of the hour hand takes 12 hours.
3. Thus, 1/4 of a revolution of the hour hand would take 12/4 = 3 hours.
Analysis:
1. The hour hand moves 3 hours clockwise from the starting position at 3.
2. Starting from 3, we count 3 hours clockwise, which leads us to the number 6 on the clock.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the hand of the clock will stop at the number 6 if it starts at 3 and makes 1/4 of a revolution clockwise. Hence, option 'A' is the correct answer.

Explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to understand how a clock works and how the hands move.
Understanding the Clock:
A clock has two hands - an hour hand and a minute hand. The hour hand is shorter and moves slowly, while the minute hand is longer and moves faster. The hour hand completes one full revolution in 12 hours, while the minute hand completes one full revolution in 60 minutes.
The Starting Point:
The problem states that the clock hand starts at 2. This means that the hour hand will be pointing towards the 2 on the clock face, and the minute hand will be pointing towards the 12.
Making 1/2 Revolution:
The problem also states that the hand makes 1/2 of a revolution clockwise. This means that the hand will move in the direction of the numbers on the clock face and cover half the distance between its starting point and its ending point.
Determining the Ending Point:
To determine where the hand will stop, we need to determine the fraction of the clock that represents 1/2 of a revolution. Since a clock has 12 numbers, 1/2 of a revolution will cover 6 numbers.
Starting from 2, if we move clockwise and cover 6 numbers, we will end up at 8. Therefore, the hand will stop at 8.
Answer:
The hand of the clock will stop at 8.

- The minute hand at 20 minutes points to the 4 on the clock.
- The hour hand at 5:20 is slightly past the 5. Each hour mark represents 30 degrees (360 degrees/12 hours).
- The angle between 5 and 4 is 30 degrees per hour mark, hence 30 + 10 = 40 degrees.
- A 40-degree angle is acute, making the correct answer C: An acute angle.
