Question 1: You are at Point X, facing East. You turn left 90 degrees. Which direction are you now facing?
- East
- West
- North (Correct answer)
- South
Correct answer: North
Facing East and turning left (counterclockwise) 90 degrees results in facing North.

- 500 meters (Correct answer)
- 1,000 meters
- 5,000 meters
- 50,000 meters
Correct answer: 500 meters
1:50,000 scale means 1 cm = 50,000 cm = 500 meters in real life.
Question 3: A shape has 4 equal sides and 4 right angles. What shape is it?
- Rectangle
