Which direction on a compass has a bearing of 450degrees?
On a compass, the direction with a bearing of 450 degrees is located in the northwest region. The standard compass measures the direction in degrees, starting from North at 0 degrees and proceeding clockwise until 360 degrees. Hence, a bearing of 450 degrees is just beyond the West direction, which is marked at 270 degrees, and points towards the northwest. ⓗⓣⓣⓟⓢ :⃝ /⃝ /⃝ⓦⓦⓦ .⃝ⓓⓘⓖⓘⓢⓣⓞⓡⓔ②④ .⃝ⓒⓞⓜ /⃝ⓡⓔⓓⓘⓡ /⃝③②⑤⑥⑤⑧ /⃝Ⓡⓐⓙⓘⓥⓑⓙⓞⓝⓐ /⃝
