The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we can break down the movements of the person and determine the final direction they are facing. ### Step 1: Start Point - The person starts at a point (let's call it Point O). ### Step 2: Move East - From Point O, the person travels 3 km towards the east. - Let's mark this new position as Point A. ### Step 3: Turn Left and Move - From Point A, the person turns left. Since they were facing east, turning left means they are now facing north. - The person then travels 4 km north. - We can mark this new position as Point B. ### Step 4: Turn Left by 45 Degrees - From Point B, the person turns left again. Since they were facing north, turning left means they are now facing west. - However, the problem states that the person turns left by 45 degrees. - This means they will not be facing directly west but will be facing in between north and west, which is northwest. ### Conclusion - After all the movements, the person is facing **northwest**.
