What would be the degree measure of the angle created by the hands on this clock?

• 45 degrees

• 60 degrees

• 90 degrees

• 15 degrees

Answer explanation

The angle between the hands of a clock at any given time is 90 degrees when the time is exactly 3:00. This is because the hour hand is pointing at 3, and the minute hand is pointing at 12, creating a right angle.

Ms. Cava drew a triangle on the board. One of the angles measured 104° and one of the angles measured 28°. What is the measure of the third angle?

*Remember to think about how many degrees all three angles in a triangle must add up to.

• 180°

• 132°

• 48°

• 58°

Answer explanation

The sum of all three angles in a triangle is always 180°. Therefore, the measure of the third angle is 180° - 104° - 28° = 48°. Hence, the correct answer is 48°.
