Important Questions from Maps and Locations
Which of the following are cardinal directions? (Select all correct answers)
Show answer
North, South, East, West
The four cardinal directions are North, South, East, and West. Northeast and Southwest are intercardinal (intermediate) directions that fall between the main cardinal directions.
An ant starts at (1,1) and moves 2 steps east, then 1 step north. What is its final position?
Show answer
(3,2)
Starting at (1,1): moving 2 steps east changes x from 1 to 3, and moving 1 step north changes y from 1 to 2. Final position calculation: (1+2, 1+1) = (3,2).
Which directions does the ant move when going from (2,3) to (5,1)?
Show answer
East, South
From (2,3) to (5,1): x increases from 2 to 5 (move 3 steps east), and y decreases from 3 to 1 (move 2 steps south). So the ant moves both east and south.
On a map, if the library is west of the school, where is the school in relation to the library?
Show answer
East of the library
Directions are relative and opposite. If the library is west of the school, then the school must be east of the library. This is because east and west are opposite directions.
