Question
How many right angles do you make if you start facing south and turn clockwise to the west?
Solution
If we revolve one complete round in either clockwise or anti-clockwise direction, then we will revolve by 360º or 4 right angles and the two adjacent directions will be at 90º or 1 right angle away from each other.
If we start facing South and turn clockwise to West, then we make 1 right angle.
