Solution

Determine right angles using directions in the figure:

A person is facing south and turns clockwise to the west, indicating that he has turned to the right.

Clockwise means turning in the same direction as the hands of the clock, while anti-clockwise means turning in the opposite direction. The figure depicts a right angle formed by the directions south and west.

So, If a person start facing south and turn clockwise to west, it will make 1 right angle.

Hence, facing south and turning west clockwise will make 1 right angle.
