Question

a hiker is walking north. he turns along the path and now his compass has made a \\(\frac{1}{3}\\) turn, shown below.
how many degrees did the hiker turn?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall full turn degrees

A full turn (360°) is the total angle around a point.

Step2: Calculate 1/3 turn

To find the degrees in a \(\frac{1}{3}\) turn, multiply the full turn (360°) by \(\frac{1}{3}\).
\(360^{\circ} \times \frac{1}{3} = 120^{\circ}\)

Answer:

\(120\)
