EAPS 10000 Homework 2 Information: Measuring directions with “points of a compass” and azimuth. Compass direction: N NNE NE ENE E ESE SE SSE S SSW SW WSW W WNW NW NNW Equivalent Azimuth: 0 22.5 45 67.5 90 112.5 135 157.5 180 202.5 225 247.5 270 292.5 315 337.5 Azimuth (similar to compass directions) is the angle in degrees measured clockwise from North (0 or 360 degrees). For example, for the direction shown (bold arrow; and the angle shown by the dashed lines), the azimuth is 135o and the compass direction is SE. Azimuth = 0o A 45o 315o Angle 270o 90o 225o 135o 180o Direction
