AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To determine how many right angles you make when turning anti-clockwise from north to east, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Starting Direction**: - You start facing **North**. 2. **Understand Anti-clockwise Movement**: - Anti-clockwise means turning to the left. 3. **Visualize the Directions**: - The four main directions are: - North (N) - East (E) - South (S) - West (W) 4. **Determine the Turn**: - When you turn anti-clockwise from North, you move towards West first, then South, and finally to East. 5. **Count the Right Angles**: - A right angle is a 90-degree turn. - From North to West is one right angle. - From West to South is another right angle. - From South to East is the third right angle. - However, since we are only turning to East, we only consider the turn from North to East. 6. **Conclusion**: - The turn from North to East is a single right angle. ### Final Answer: You make **1 right angle** when turning anti-clockwise from North to East. ---
