70% to passHow many degrees are there on a compass card?
A
360°
B
380°
C
390°
D
420°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 360°. A compass card, which is the part of a compass that displays the degrees, has 360 degrees total. This is because a full circle is defined as 360 degrees. This is a fundamental property of geometry and is the standard for how compass degrees are defined. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the number of degrees on a compass card. A compass card has 360 degrees, not 380°, 390°, or 420°.
