I might be incorrect. Buttt I believe this might be the answer. The way is write it is Minute hand length ~ 36•1.5= 54 In 45 minutes the minute hand with be at the 8 hour marker The whole clock is equal to 360° so each hour is represented by 30°. I found that by dividing 360 by 12. (Due to how many hours are on the clock) There is 9hour markers between 11 and 8. So there’s a 270° distance between the minute hand and 45 minutes. I found this by timing 9 by 30
