Question

Convert 73 degrees S of W to the counter clockwise from east convention:

a. 73°
b. 107°
c. 17°
d. 253°

Answer 1

To convert 73 degrees S of W to the counter clockwise from east convention, subtract 73° from 180° to get 107°.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 73 degrees S of W to the counter clockwise from east convention, we need to subtract the given angle from 180°. This is because the counter clockwise convention measures angles from the positive x-axis (east) and the given angle is measured clockwise from the negative x-axis (west).

So, 180° - 73° = 107°.
