What direction are you facing east and then turned clockwise through 2 right angles?
West
How many congruent angles do two intersecting lines form?
If the lines are perpendicular, which is to say, intersect at right angles, then all four angles are congruent, since they will all be 90o. If the intersection is not perpendicular, then there are two sets of congruent angles. Opposite angles will be equal. That is to say, if you imagine the angles forming at more or less the cardinal points of the compass, the north and south angles will be equal, and the east and west angles will be equal.
Do planes only fly clockwise around the world?
Aircraft fly in the direction of their destination regardless which way around the world that may be. That's a trick question. To an observer standing at the North Pole, a plane flying east to west is going clockwise. To an observer standing at the South Pole, a plane flying west to east is going clockwise. And, of course, some planes fly over the poles. But if you only consider planes that are flying east/west, they are going both clockwise and counterclockwise, depending on which direction you are viewing them from.
The four main directions are called what?
North south east west up down left right
Can a right triangle can be an equilateral triangle?
Short Answer: no Long Answer: Most people consider Euclidean Geometry when taking about standard shapes such as triangles and squares. In Euclidean Geometry: all equilateral triangles have angles of 60°. Therefore an equilateral triangle doesn't have a right angle. However, in Non-Euclidean Geometry (Elliptic Geometry) a triangle can have all angles at 90°. Consider going for a walk at the North Pole. Start going South (all directions are South), then turn at a right angle (90°) to go East, then turn again at a right angle (90°) to go North and you would end up at your starting point (assuming the distance travelled in each direction is the same). The 'triangle' you made would have 3 right angles!!
