Question

Use 1-2 complete sentences to explain why the following statement is false:

Answer 1

Answer:

See the diagram for understanding

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the woman at point A and moves towards east . But the point A is at the south and she is moving upwards towards east according to the compass. That is why this statement is incorrect .

In the compass it would be east but she has to move north to reach east. There's a difference between the actual position the direction of movement of the person to reach that position.

This is better explained by the following diagram.

Now we can see she will move along line B , C and D to reach east which are actually to the north of her position. So the given statement is false.
