Vectors Word Search: Understanding 23° True

[312213]

Homework Statement

I have a vector word search that works by using vectors to find each letter on a coordinate plane. Each letter is obtained by using the current letter location and following the given vector to arrive at the new letter. Vectors are given as magnitude in a direction like "5 units E" or 4.2 units 11° W of S." There is a third direction as "23° true." What does this mean?

Homework Equations

Trigonometry equations

The Attempt at a Solution

Attempting the word search and ending up outside the coordinate plane.

Hi 312213!

I guess "º true" means "degrees from North" …

so it would be the same as what a sailor means by "a bearing of 23º".
