If the set is finite you count the number of distinct elements in it.

If the set has infinitely many elements, and you can find a one-to-one mapping between these elements and the natural numbers, then its cardinality is Aleph-null. Incidentally, the cardinality of rational numbers is also Aleph-null.

If you can map its elements to the set of real numbers, and if the continuum hypothesis is true then the cardinality of the set is the next transfinite number, Aleph-one. Unfortunately, if the Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory is consistent then neither the continuum hypothesis nor its negation can be proven. [It is not that nobody has proved it, but worse: as Godel proved, in any consistent and not-trivial mathematical theory, there are statements that cannot be proved to be true or false.]

Count the number of distinct elements in the set.

No. The empty set has cardinal number 0. {ø } has cardinal number 1.


Determine the cardinal number of the set {x | x is a letter of the alphabet}?

I feel like a better explanation is that the answer is 26. I assumed that you were asking for {x|x, as long as x is a letter of the alphabet}. The cardinal number is basically just the number of terms in the set (it has to be distinct).

How can you determine direction on a map that does not have a compass rose?

To determine direction on a map without a compass rose, you can look for orientation clues like a labeled cardinal direction (e.g., "North" or "West"), landmarks or points of interest that you recognize, or the map's overall layout, such as top or bottom edges usually representing north or south respectively. Alternatively, you can use the map scale to approximate distances and then compare with a known location to figure out your orientation.
