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 is the direction for the bearing 112 degrees?
Oh, dude, the direction for a bearing of 112 degrees is like... northeast. Yeah, that's the one. So, if you're lost in the woods and you see a bear, just remember to head northeast... or maybe just run in any direction, really.
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".
