Question

I was facing west.I turned 125 degree in the clockwise direction and 10 degree in the anti-clockwise direction.Which direction am i facing now

Answer 1

Answer:

North -east

Explanation:

According to given statements,

I was facing west, I turned 125° in the clockwise direction and 10° in the anti-clockwise direction then my face will be in north -east direction.

Clockwise :

Clockwise motion is in the same direction as clock's hand from top point to the right then bottom and then to the left and back to the top.

Anticlockwise :

Anticlockwise motion is in the opposite direction of the clock's hand from top point to the left then bottom and then to the right and back to the top.

Answer 2

Answer:  

I will be facing the north east direction.

Solution:

Let us consider that I am standing at origin position of graph at point O. I am facing towards west which will be the negative x-axis direction side in graph. I need to turn my face to 90 degree clockwise to face the north side which is in positive y-axis direction. But here it is given that I am turning 125 degree in clockwise direction that means I will be turning a little away from the positive y-axis line or north direction towards the positive xy plane.  

So, the positive xy or the first quadrant plane can be represented as north east direction. Then it is said that I am turning 10 degree in the anticlockwise direction. So subtract 125-10, it will give 115 degree. So now I will be 115 degree in the first quadrant itself. So I will be facing in the north east direction at 115 degree.
