- 180°
- 90°
- 270°
- 0°
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: B. 90°
Azimuth is counted clockwise from north, so east sits a quarter turn away at 90°.

Worked practice questions
Due west has which azimuth value?
- 315°
- 180°
- 270°
- 90°
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. 270°
Three quarter turns clockwise from north reach west, which is 270°.
Which azimuth marks due south?
- 180°
- 270°
- 0°
- 90°
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: A. 180°
South is a half turn from north, so its azimuth is 180°.
