A difference between direction and bearing?
For sailors, bearing is the angle measured clockwise from North. For mathematicians, direction is measured counter-clockwise from the positive x-axis. Thus, due East as a bearing would be 90 degrees, since it is 90 degrees clockwise from North, and East as a direction would be 0 degrees, since East is the same as the positive x-axis. So yeah, there you go.
What name on a compass is 90 degrees?
East
What is the largest number for a latitude lines?
All latitudes are between 90 degrees south and 90 degrees north. No latitude is greater than 90 degrees in either direction.
How you can measure 90 degree angle with compass?
On a compass, 90 degrees means due east. The other device called a compass is used to transfer distance and draw circles, but not to measure angles. It's most likely that the word problem you were looking at meant "east".
How many degrees is five right angle turns?
1 right angle turn = 90 degrees If each turn is in the opposite direction from the one before it, then there are 2 in one direction and 3 in the other direction, and 5 of them wind up turning you 90 degrees. If there is 1 turn in one direction and 4 in the other direction, then 5 of them wind up turning you 3/4 of a turn, or 270 degrees. If each turn is in the same direction, then 5 of them turn you 450 degrees, which has exactly the same effect as turning 90 degrees. So . . . five right angle turns can turn you 90 or 270 degrees from the direction you were originally facing, but they can't turn you 180 degrees or leave you facing the same way as you started. Holy Moly ! Do you see what that means ? It means that if you turn 90 degrees five times, it doesn't matter which way you turn each time, you're still going to wind up in the same position as if you had simply turned either to the right or to the left once !
How do you take a bearing?
You take a bearing by pointing your compass at the target (or direction you want to go) and reading the number on the compass. There are 360 degrees in a circle, with East being at 90 degrees, South-East being 135 degrees, South being 180, West 270, North 360 (or zero) and etc. etc.

What direction is NNW plus 90 degrees?
The direction NNW plus 90 degrees is ENE. ---------------------- NW is a bearing of 315 and NNW is a bearing of 337.5. Add 90 to this, and subtract 360 because we have "gone round": 337.5 + 90 = 427.5; 427.5 - 360 = 67.5. This is past NE, so the answer is ENE.
How many degrees in a directional compass?
there are 360 degrees in a compass
What is 30 degrees north and 70 degrees east?
If you look at a compass, it points north. Each mark is one degree, and there are 360 on a compass, so 30 degrees east of north means that you head towards the thirtieth park to the east (right) of north. On a watch, if 12 o'clock is north, then 1 o'clock is thirty degrees east of it.
What name on a compass is 90 degrees?
East
How do you convert 90 degrees to 135 degrees on the compass?
135 degrees is SE
What bearing angle is due east?
90 degrees
How many degrees are therein the angle between the hands of a clockwhen it is 9 O 'clock?
90 degrees. At this time the small hand will be at the 9 with a bearing of 270 and the large will be at the 12 with a bearing of 0. The difference between these is 270 degress or 90 degrees but as 90 degrees is smaller that is the one we use.
Which compass direction is o 90 degrees anticlockwise of east?
well like der what do u thibk it's west just like blacktown west!
What direction is ENE plus 90 degrees?
ENE plus 90 degrees (clockwise) is SSE.
How do you construct a 270 degree angle with a compass?
90 degrees multiplied by 3...
