🔍 Key Concepts

• How the 360° compass circle is divided into the four main cardinal points (N, E, S, W) and the intercardinal points (NE, SE, SW, NW) • The degree values assigned to the main directions: North = 000°, East = 090°, South = 180°, West = 270° • How to find the bearing of a direction that lies exactly halfway between two main compass points

💭 Think About

• Which two main compass directions lie on either side of Southwest (SW)? • What are the degree values of those two main directions, and what is the angle exactly halfway between them? • Once you find that halfway angle, which choice is closest to that exact value?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm the degree values of South and West on the compass card • Check that SW is exactly halfway between those two directions, not closer to one than the other • Verify that your final angle is expressed using three digits and a decimal to match the answer format
