Rohit Direction Turns Calculation
This solution determines the final direction Rohit faced after a series of specified turns.
Initial Position and Turns Analysis
- Rohit begins facing West.
- Turn 1: $45^\circ$ clockwise.
- Turn 2: $180^\circ$ clockwise.
- Turn 3: $270^\circ$ anti-clockwise.
Step-by-Step Direction Tracking
Tracking the direction sequentially:
- Starting Direction: West.
- After Turn 1 ($45^\circ$ clockwise): From West, turning $45^\circ$ clockwise changes the direction to North-West.
- After Turn 2 ($180^\circ$ clockwise): From North-West, a $180^\circ$ clockwise turn reverses the direction, leading to South-East.
- After Turn 3 ($270^\circ$ anti-clockwise): From South-East, turning $270^\circ$ anti-clockwise is the same as turning $90^\circ$ clockwise ($360^\circ - 270^\circ = 90^\circ$). This change from South-East results in facing South-West.
Net Angle Calculation Method
Alternatively, we can sum the rotations:
- Total clockwise rotation = $45^\circ + 180^\circ = 225^\circ$.
- Total anti-clockwise rotation = $270^\circ$.
- Net rotation = $270^\circ$ (anti-clockwise) - $225^\circ$ (clockwise) = $45^\circ$ anti-clockwise.
Applying the net $45^\circ$ anti-clockwise turn to the initial West direction leads to South-West.
Final Facing Direction Result
Therefore, Rohit was ultimately facing South-West.
