east and make `(1)/(2)` of a revolution clockwise ?
(Should we specify clockwise or anti-clockwise for this last question ? Why not ?)

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining which direction you will face after starting from east and making half a revolution clockwise, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Starting Direction**: You start facing **East**. 2. **Understand the Concept of a Revolution**: A full revolution (360 degrees) means turning all the way around to face the same direction again. Half a revolution (180 degrees) means turning halfway around. 3. **Determine the Direction of the Turn**: The problem specifies that the turn is **clockwise**. Clockwise means turning to the right. 4. **Visualize the Directions**: The four main cardinal directions are: - North (N) - East (E) - South (S) - West (W) If you visualize these directions in a circle: - Starting at East, moving clockwise: - From East (E) to South (S) is a quarter turn (90 degrees). - Continuing from South (S) to West (W) is another quarter turn (90 degrees). - Therefore, a half revolution (180 degrees) from East will take you to West. 5. **Conclusion**: After making half a revolution clockwise from East, you will be facing **West**. ### Final Answer: You will face **West** after making half a revolution clockwise starting from East. ---
