Dave gave Heather directions on how to find where he had buried a box in his backyard. He didn’t want to make it easy for her, so he gave her complicated directions. This is what he said:

When you walk out of the back door of the house, you will be facing east. From there, walk straight ahead 10 feet. Turn 45° to your left, and then walk 5 feet. Next, turn 25° to your right and walk 12 feet. Finally, turn 110° to your right and walk 20 feet.
Based on these directions, which way will Heather be facing when she reaches the place where Dave buried the box?

Answer: She will be walking south or 90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

She walks ten spaces forward from where she started meaning the east

She turns 45 degrees left which places her at northeast

The walking doesn't affect her direction

So look at it like -45+25+110

This equals 90 degrees or south.
