However, the angle indicated is called a reflex angle. It measures 270°. When will be the very next moment at which the hands form an angle of 90°?
When the hands of a clock are showing 3 o'clock, they form a right angle. (See picture at left.)
Bonus: At 9 o'clock, the hands again form a right angle (see diagram at right).
