The circular measure of the included angle formed by the hour hand and minute hand of a clock at 3 PM will be
π⁄2
At 3 PM, the hour hand points to 3 and the minute hand points to 12. These hands form a right angle.
A right angle is equivalent to 90 degrees in standard measure.
To convert degrees to radians, we use the formula: Radians = Degrees × (π/180).
Substituting 90 degrees, we get: Radians = 90 × (π/180) = π/2.
Therefore, the circular measure of the angle between the hands at 3 PM is π/2 radians.
