Question
How many right angles do you make if you start facing south and turn north?
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 to North, then we make 2 right angles.
