To find the angle between the hour and minute hands at 2 o’clock, we can follow these steps:

Understanding the Clock:

The clock is a circle, and a full circle is 360 degrees.
The clock is divided into 12 hours, so the total angle for each hour is 360° ÷ 12 = 30°.
Position of the Hour Hand at 2 o’clock:

At 2 o’clock, the hour hand is exactly at the 2-hour mark.
The angle between the 12 o’clock position (which is at 0°) and the 2 o’clock position is 2 × 30° = 60°.
Position of the Minute Hand at 2 o’clock:

At 2 o’clock, the minute hand is exactly at the 12 o’clock position.
The angle between the 12 o’clock position and the minute hand is 0°.
Angle Between the Hour Hand and Minute Hand:

The angle between the two hands is the difference between their positions.
The angle between the hour and minute hand is |60° - 0°| = 60°.
Thus, the angle between the hour hand and minute hand at 2 o’clock is 60°.
