The correct Answer is:
To determine the direction the rat is facing after following the given movements, we can break down the steps as follows: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Starting Point**: The rat starts at point O and runs 20 m towards the East. - **Position**: O to A (20 m East). 2. **First Turn**: The rat turns to the right (which is South from East) and runs 10 m. - **Position**: A to B (10 m South). 3. **Second Turn**: The rat turns to the right again (which is West from South) and runs 9 m. - **Position**: B to C (9 m West). 4. **Third Turn**: The rat turns to the left (which is South from West) and runs 5 m. - **Position**: C to D (5 m South). 5. **Fourth Turn**: The rat turns to the left again (which is East from South) and runs 12 m. - **Position**: D to E (12 m East). 6. **Final Turn**: The rat turns to the left one last time (which is North from East) and runs 6 m. - **Position**: E to F (6 m North). ### Final Position: After completing all the movements, we need to determine the final direction the rat is facing. - After the last left turn (from East to North), the rat is now facing **North**. ### Conclusion: The rat is facing **North** at the end of its movements. ---
