True. When you turn the clock upside down, the five- minute hand points to your right, which is the forty-five. Two- dimensional rotation can occur in two potential directions. The clockwise motion moves from left to right, then back down to the left and back up to the top.

The inverse sense of rotation or revolution is anti-clockwise. North American English refers to the opposite motion as being counterclockwise. The terms clockwise and counterclockwise can simply be utilized as a rotational motion once a side of the rotational plane is required, from which the rotation is observed.

Clocks with hands were first created in the Northern Hemisphere, and they were fashioned to work like horizontal sundials. The earth's daily rotation is clockwise when seen from above the South Pole, and it is counterclockwise from above the North Pole.

The appropriate answer to this inquiry is False. In order to solve this question, it is paramount to visualize the clock upside down. It will assist you in predicting the picture of the clock to help provide you the correct answer desired. When imagining the clock, ensure that you put in mind that a clock is symmetrically divided into 12 sections.

Those sections are from 1 to 12. When the clock is in the right position, 2:45 means that the hour hand is within two and three on the right while the minute hand is directing to the left on number nine when the clock is upright. If you flip the clock upside down, the markings will be inverted.

The hands that were directed to one side with a move to the opposite. Hence, the minute hand will point to the left when it is 2:45. It is appropriate to envisage an upside-down clock to obtain the picture and the perception for the right answer.

This situation is true

• When the time is 2:45, the hour hand is between the 2 and 3

• The minute hand is pointed towards the 9

• The 9 is visualized on the left side

• Then the clock is upside down, the hands are still pointing to the same places

• The hour big hand is between the 2 and 3

• The minute small hand is pointed towards the 9

• The 9 is visualized on the right side

• The difference is the minute hand is pointing towards the right

The correct answer to this question is False. To answer this question, it is best to imagine the clock upside down. It will help you envision the image of the clock to help give you the right answer needed. When envisioning the clock, be sure to remember that a clock is divided into 12 parts.

Those parts are from 1 to 12. When the clock is in the right position, 2:45 will have the hour hand between the numbers two and three and the minute hand on number nine. If you flip the clock upside down, those positions will reverse.

A clock is symmetrically divided into 12 sections from 1 to 12. When the clock is upright, two-forty five means that the hour hand is between two and three on the right while the minute hand is pointing to the left at the nine mark when the clock is upright.

Now when the clock is turned upside down, the markings will reverse. The hands that were pointing on one side will shift to the other. Hence, the minute hand will point to the left when it is two forty five. It is best to imagine an upside down clock to get the image and the perspective for the correct answer.
