Can you help me find the interior angle of 10:10 a.m.?

The angle between numbers on the clock are 30deg. (360 divided by 12). From 10 to 2 (10 after) is 4 numbers. The answer would be 4 times 30 or 120 degrees.

The angle between 12:00 and the minute hand is 60 degrees.
The hour hand is 60/360 = 1/6 of the way between 10 and 11.
Thus the hour hand is 1/6 of 30 = 5 degrees past the 10.
Hence the hour hand makes an angle of 55 degrees with 12:00
Thus total angle = 60+55 = 115 degrees

the whole clock would be 360 degree
--> every 5 minutes would be: 360 : 12 = 30 degree
Therefore 10:10 --> there are 4 parts of 5 minutes --> 120 degree

everbody except the first and last poster forgot to factor in the movement of the small hand. You have to subtract the five degrees that the small hand moved while the big hand moved from 10:00 to 10:10
so the answer is 115

60 minutes correspond to 360 degrees. 10:10 makes up 20 minutes; hence,
20 min x [360 deg/60 min] = 120 deg. ANS

115
there are 30 degrees between each number.
In the case of the small hand, it moves 5 degrees when the big hand moves 60.
