Question 2
A 24m tall person is standing outside at 15:00 afternoon. If the sun's rays make a 15° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards East, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 24 × tan(15°) = 6.4 m. Shadow direction: East (sun in opposite direction).
Question 3
A person is facing West. If he turns right, which direction is he now facing?
Turning right from West means rotating 90° right. From West, right leads to North.
Question 4
A man is facing West. He turns left. What direction is opposite to the direction he is now facing?
After turning left from West, he faces South. The opposite of South is North.
Question 5
At 3:00 PM, the sun is in the Southwest. If a person is facing South, where will his shadow fall?
At 3:00 PM, sun is in Southwest. Shadow falls opposite to sun. From South, shadow direction = Northeast.
Question 6
A 13m tall person is standing outside at 6:00 morning. If the sun's rays make a 30° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards West, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 13 × tan(30°) = 7.5 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).
Question 7
A man is facing South. He turns left. What direction is opposite to the direction he is now facing?
After turning left from South, he faces East. The opposite of East is West.
Question 8
At 6:00, the hour hand points exactly towards South. If a person is facing North, where is the hour hand relative to him?
At 6:00, hour hand is at South (180.0°). Person faces North (0°). Angular difference: 180.0°. The hour hand is behind.
Question 9
A person starts facing South and walks through a labyrinth. He makes the following turns: right, then left, then right. What is his final facing direction?
Starting from South, right, then left, then right leads to West.
Question 10
A person intends to walk East. The wind is coming from the Southeast. How does the wind affect his movement direction?
Crosswind from Southeast pushes the person left while moving East.
Question 11
An airplane is traveling on a bearing of North (0°). If it turns 90° anticlockwise, what is its new bearing?
Starting bearing: 0°. Anticlockwise turn of 90° → 270° = West.
Question 12
A person facing North turns 180° clockwise. Which direction is he now facing?
From North, turning 180° clockwise means rotating 180° clockwise. Final direction: South.
Question 13
A 25m tall person is standing outside at 9:00 morning. If the sun's rays make a 15° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards West, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 25 × tan(15°) = 6.7 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).
Question 14
A walks 41m West. B walks 27m East. The ratio of their distances from start is 1.52:1. What is the position of B relative to A?
A at (-41, 0), B at (27, 0). Difference: (68, 0) → East, 68.0m.
Question 15
A person wants to go from (0,0) to (3, 6) but there is an obstacle at (1, 1). He can only move North or East. What sequence of directions should he take to avoid the obstacle?
Direct path blocked at (1, 1). Detour: first move North to clear obstacle's y-coordinate, then East. Final destination: (3, 6).
Question 16
In the morning, if you are facing the sun, in which direction will your shadow fall?
In the morning, the sun is in the East. Since you are facing the sun, your shadow falls behind you, towards the West.
Question 17
A person wants to go from (0,0) to (6, 5) but there is an obstacle at (4, 1). He can only move North or East. What sequence of directions should he take to avoid the obstacle?
Direct path blocked at (4, 1). Detour: first move North to clear obstacle's y-coordinate, then East. Final destination: (6, 5).
Question 18
Q is 22m West of B. X is 46m North of B. What is the position of X relative to Q?
Position of Q: (0,0). B: (-22, 0). X: (-22, 46). X - Q = (-22, 46) → North, 51.0m.
Question 19
A person is facing South. If he looks into a mirror placed to the left of him, which direction does his reflection appear to be facing?
Mirror on left reflects your left side, making you appear to face West.
Question 20
A 11m tall person is standing outside at 9:00 morning. If the sun's rays make a 15° angle with the ground, and his shadow falls towards West, what is the length of his shadow?
Shadow length = height × tan(angle) = 11 × tan(15°) = 2.9 m. Shadow direction: West (sun in opposite direction).
