Which direction will you face if you start facing
east and make `1 (1)/(2)` of a revolution clockwise ?
(Should we specify clockwise or anti-clockwise for this last question ? Why not ?)

The correct Answer is:
To determine which direction you will face after starting from east and making \(1 \frac{1}{2}\) revolutions clockwise, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Starting Direction**: - You start facing **East**. 2. **Understand a Full Revolution**: - A full revolution (360 degrees) takes you back to the same direction. So, if you make one complete revolution from East, you will still be facing East. 3. **Calculate Half a Revolution**: - Half a revolution (180 degrees) from East will turn you to the opposite direction. - If you are facing East and turn 180 degrees, you will end up facing **West**. 4. **Combine the Revolutions**: - Since you are making \(1 \frac{1}{2}\) revolutions, this means: - 1 full revolution brings you back to East. - The additional half revolution turns you from East to West. 5. **Final Direction**: - After completing \(1 \frac{1}{2}\) revolutions clockwise, you will be facing **West**. ### Conclusion: - Therefore, after making \(1 \frac{1}{2}\) revolutions clockwise from East, you will be facing **West**.
