(c) 270°
(d) 360°
Ans: (d)

Q2: Two half turns in the same direction are equal to:
(a) A quarter turn
(b) A full turn
(c) Three-quarter turn
(d) No turn
Ans: (b)

Q3: How many quarter turns make a full turn?
(a) 2
(b) 3
(c) 4
(d) 6
Ans: (c)

Q4: How many degrees are in one quarter turn?

(b) 60°
(c) 90°
(d) 120°

Q5: A reflex angle is always:
(a) 
Less than 90°
(b) Between 90° and 180°
(c) Between 180° and 360°
(d) Equal to 90°
Ans: (c)

Q6: For each arrow turn, guess the size in degrees and state the type. 

(a) 1 quarter turn clockwise → ______ ° → type: __________

(b) 3 quarter turns anti‑clockwise → ______ ° → type: __________

(c) 1/2 of a full turn → ______ ° → type: __________

(d) 2/3 of a full turn  → ______ ° → type: __________

(a) 1 quarter turn clockwise
= 90°
→ type: Right angle

(b) 3 quarter turns anti-clockwise
= 3 × 90° = 270°
→ type: Reflex angle (since it’s more than 180° but less than 360°)

(c) 1/2 of a full turn
= 360° ÷ 2 = 180°
→ type: Straight angle

(d) 2/3 of a full turn
= (2/3) × 360° = 240°
→ type: Reflex angle

Q7: A robot starts facing East. It makes the following sequence of turns:

  • 1 quarter turn clockwise,
  • 1 half turn anti‑clockwise,
  • 3 quarter turns clockwise.

(a) What direction is it facing now? __________
(b) What is the net turn (in degrees) relative to the start? __________°

Ans: 

Start: Facing East.

  1. 1 quarter turn clockwise → from East → South.
  2. 1 half turn anti-clockwise → from South → turn 180° left → North.
  3. 3 quarter turns clockwise → 270° right from North → West.

So final direction = West.

Now, net turn relative to start (East):

  • East → West is a 180° turn.
  • Since the robot ended up on the opposite side of its start, the net turn is ±180°.
  • Conventionally, we write it as −180° (anticlockwise) or +180° (clockwise)

Final answers (a) West
(b) Net 180°
