Question 1
B is 26m East of Q. Y is 19m South of Q. What is the position of Y relative to B?
Position of B: (0,0). Q: (26, 0). Y: (26, -19). Y - B = (26, -19) → East, 32.2m.

Question 2
A 25m tall person is standing outside at 12:00 noon. If the sun is directly overhead, what is the length of his shadow?
When sun is directly overhead at noon, no shadow is cast (or shadow directly below).
Question 3
Y is 16m West of A. X is 13m South of A. What is the position of X relative to Y?
Position of Y: (0,0). A: (-16, 0). X: (-16, -13). X - Y = (-16, -13) → West, 20.6m.
Question 4
A hiker is traveling on a bearing of East (90°). If it turns 270° clockwise, what is its new bearing?
Starting bearing: 90°. Clockwise turn of 270° → 0° = North.
Question 5
A person is facing South. If he looks into a mirror placed in front of him, which direction does his reflection appear to be facing?
Mirror in front reflects your direction backwards. Facing South → reflection faces North.
Question 6
A person is facing North. If he turns left, which direction is he now facing?
Turning left from North means rotating 90° left. From North, left leads to West.
Question 7
A person is facing West. 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 North.
Question 8
A person starts at point A and walks 25m towards South, then 22m towards East, then 16m towards West. What is his final position relative to point A?
Net displacement: 6m East-West, -25m North-South. Final direction: South, distance: 25.7m.
Question 9
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 10
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 11
A person intends to walk West. The wind is coming from the East. How does the wind affect his movement direction?
Wind from East blows West. Since wind blows same direction as intended (West), person reaches destination faster but same direction.
Question 12
A person starts facing East and walks through a labyrinth. He makes the following turns: left, then left, then left. What is his final facing direction?
Starting from East, left, then left, then left leads to South.
Question 13
A person walks 15m East, then 14m South. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (15, -14). Shortest distance = √(15² + -14²) = 20.5 m.
Question 14
A 19m tall person is standing outside at 12:00 noon. If the sun is directly overhead, what is the length of his shadow?
When sun is directly overhead at noon, no shadow is cast (or shadow directly below).
Question 15
A person intends to walk North. The wind is coming from the Northeast. How does the wind affect his movement direction?
Crosswind from Northeast pushes the person left while moving North.
Question 16
A person is initially facing South. He turns left, left, right, and then left. Which direction is he finally facing?
Start: South. left → left → right → left → Final: North.
Question 17
R is 43m South of X. P is 31m West of X. What is the position of P relative to R?
Position of R: (0,0). X: (0, -43). P: (-31, -43). P - R = (-31, -43) → South, 53.0m.
Question 18
A person is initially facing West. He turns left, right, and then right. Which direction is he finally facing?
Start: West. left → right → right → Final: North.
Question 19
A 30m 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) = 30 × tan(15°) = 8.0 m. Shadow direction: East (sun in opposite direction).
Question 20
A person walks 24m South, then 15m West, then 14m East. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (-1, -24). Shortest distance = √(-1² + -24²) = 24.0 m.
