Question

Theresah is facing east . Through how many degrees should she turn clockwise to face north?​

Answer 1

270 degrees.

Explanation:

Don't be fooled by this question! I may seem like she needs to turn 90 degrees, but thats not what the question said. The question wants her to turn clockwise.

She will only need to turn 90 degrees if she is turning counterclockwise as she will be turning to her left. But, she needs to turn in the opposite direction.

The total number of degrees in a full turn is 360. She needs to turn 3/4 of the way to 360. So 3/4 times 360 is 270 degrees.

For a simpler way, you can just subtract 90 from 360 degrees.

Have a nice day! :)

Answer 2

270 degrees

Explanation:

Looking at a compass we can see North is at the top, West Left, South bottom, East right. Clockwise is right, so turning 90 degrees you will face south, another 90 west, and another 90 north. 3*90 = 270 degrees.
