Answer:
\(90^o\)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that on a compass, due east is a 1/4 turn clockwise from due north.
Since we know that a compass is in form of a circle and the measure of degrees in a circle is 360 degrees.
To find the number of degrees in a one-fourth turn, we will divide 360 by 4.
\(\text{Number of degrees in a 1/4 turn of compass}=\frac{360^o}{4}\)
\(\text{Number of degrees in a 1/4 turn of compass}=90^o\)
Therefore, there are 90 degrees in a 1/4 turn of compass.
