At 5 o'clock, the hour hand is on the 5 and the minute hand is on the 12. The hour hand moves at 30 degrees per hour (360 degrees/12 hours), so at 5 o'clock, it is at 150 degrees (5 x 30). The minute hand at 12 is at 0 degrees. The smaller angle between them is 150 degrees, making the obtuse angle 210 degrees (360 - 150). Thus, the measure of the obtuse angle created at 5 o'clock is 210 degrees.
