A Correct answer
Explanation

At 6:00, the hour hand is at 6 and the minute hand is at 12. This forms a straight line, which is 180 degrees.

AI explanation

Using the clock angle formula, where the angle equals the absolute value of 30 times the hours minus 11 divided by 2 times the minutes, we substitute the values for 6:00. This gives us the absolute value of 30 times 6 minus 5.5 times 0, which simplifies to 180. The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand at 6:00 is 180 degrees.
