🔍 Key Concepts

• Cardinal and intercardinal points on the compass (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) • How many degrees are in a full circle and how they’re divided among main compass points • Relationship between quadrants (NE, SE, SW, NW) and their starting/ending degree values

💭 Think About

• First, recall the degree values for the four main cardinal points (N, E, S, W). Where does NW sit relative to these? • Figure out the midpoint in degrees between the two nearest main cardinal directions that NW lies between. • Compare your computed degree value for NW with the answer choices and pick the closest matching one.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you know the correct degree values for North, East, South, and West before you start. • Confirm how many degrees are between each main cardinal point and each intercardinal (like NW). • Double-check that NW is in the correct quadrant (between West and North) and that your final degree value falls between those two.
