Tina drives 45 km East, turns right and drives 65 km (toward South), then turns left and drives 33 km. After these moves, which direction is she facing?

Introduction / Context:The problem asks only for the final facing direction, not the final location. That lets us ignore distances for orientation and focus purely on left/right turns from the current heading.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Start heading: East (first leg).
• Turn right once → heading becomes South.
• Turn left once → heading becomes East again.
• Distances (45, 65, 33 km) do not affect facing, only the turns do.

Concept / Approach:For orientation-only questions, apply each turn relative to the present heading. Right from East is South; left from South is East.

Step-by-Step Solution:Initial: East.Right turn → South.Left turn → East.Final facing = East.

Verification / Alternative check:Sketch a simple compass and rotate 90° at each instruction to confirm.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:North/West/South do not match the left/right sequence applied from East.

Common Pitfalls:Letting distances bias orientation; distances do not change facing.

Final Answer:East
