How many right angles do you make if you start facing
(a) south and turn clockwise to west?
(b) north and turn anticlockwise to east?
(c) west and turn to west?
(d) south and turn to north?

Solution:

We will be using the concepts of revolution and clockwise and anticlockwise rotation, right angle to solve this.

(a) The number of right angles made while facing the south and turning clockwise to the west is 1 right angle.
(b) The number of right angles made while facing the north and turning anticlockwise to the east is 3 right angles.
(c) The number of right angles made while facing the west and turning to the west is 4 right angles.
(d) The number of right angles made while facing the south and turning to the north is 2 right angles.
