The diagram shows 8 direction points found on a compass. we usaually show North facing to the top. The needle of a compass always points to the North. Therefore any other direction always forms an angle with North. To ensure that everyone uses the same standard, it was agreed Internationally that North would be taken as 0 degrees. Other directions are determined CLOCKWISE FROM NORTH. Therefore East is in the direction 90 degrees.
