Which direction will you face if you start facing
west and make `(3)/(4)` of a revolution anti-clockwise ?
(Should we specify clockwise or anti-clockwise for this last question ? Why not ?)

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to determine the final direction after making \( \frac{3}{4} \) of a revolution anti-clockwise from the west direction. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Understand the Directions**: - The four main cardinal directions are North, East, South, and West. - If we visualize these directions on a circle: - North (N) is at 0 degrees, - East (E) is at 90 degrees, - South (S) is at 180 degrees, - West (W) is at 270 degrees. 2. **Starting Point**: - We start facing West, which is at 270 degrees. 3. **Calculate \( \frac{3}{4} \) of a Revolution**: - A full revolution is 360 degrees. - To find \( \frac{3}{4} \) of a revolution, we calculate: \[ \frac{3}{4} \times 360 = 270 \text{ degrees} \] 4. **Determine the New Direction**: - Since we are making a turn anti-clockwise, we subtract the \( 270 \) degrees from our starting point (270 degrees): \[ 270 - 270 = 0 \text{ degrees} \] - 0 degrees corresponds to North. 5. **Final Direction**: - After making \( \frac{3}{4} \) of a revolution anti-clockwise from West, we end up facing North. ### Conclusion: The final direction you will face is **North**.
