What is the measure of the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand when it is 7:00 and 2:00

150 degrees or 210 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle is equal to 360 degrees. The face of a clock is a circle and therefore 360 degrees. A clock is separated into 12 sections. Divide 360 / 12 = 30 degrees. This means each section is 30 degrees.

Between 2:00 and 7:00 clockwise, there are 5 sections. Since each section is 30 degrees, then 5*30 = 150 degrees.

Between 2:00 and 7:00 counter clockwise, there are 7 sections. Since each section is 30 degrees, then 7*30 = 210 degrees.

The angle depends on the direction of it.
