Consider a regular 12 hour clock, and measure time in hours starting from noon. Let $m$ denote the angle that the minute hand makes with the top position (12). Similarly, let $h$ be the angle that the hour hand makes with the vertical position. In this case, suppose we measure the angle clockwise, so that the angles involved are positive.
At 2:30pm we have
$h=$ degrees.
At that time the minute hand has completed two and half rotations, and so the angle
$m=$ degrees. (Enter a number between 720 and 1080.)
In general, at time $t$
$h=$ degrees, and
$m=$ degrees.
There is a time $t$ between $2$ and $3$ pm at which the minute hand is on top of the hour hand. At that time the hour hand forms an angle $x$ of degrees with the vertical.
Hint: Set up and solve an equation for the time where the two hands point in the same direction, and then multiply the time with 30 to get the required angle.
