đ 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
đ 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?
â
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
