It could be caused by a number of things. Some ammunition tends to drift to the right. Switch to another brand of ammunition. Make sure it is all brass jacketing, not nickel. Even try switching to a lower grain ammo to be sure that the issue isn't the "heft" of the ammo that is giving you problems.

Your sights could be slightly off, so I'd have them checked out. Even if the sights were installed by the manufacturer or a secondary dealer, they may not check that they are properly aligned. Even then, the transport process can shift them, due to temperature, road vibration, etc. Go to a good gun shop and have their gunsmith do a sight alignment check. It won't take long usually and can be realigned within minutes. Or get an alignment tool from stores like Cheaper than Dirt. Learn to sight your weapon and save money over time.

If none of these help, it can be an issue with actual shooting technique. You may not realize it, but you could be "pushing" the gun with the left hand if you are right-handed. It's like you are trying to "push" the bullet where you want it to go. Your hands might do it unconsciously. If you are left-handed, you could be anticipating the recoil and noise from the propellant exploding. One of your arms may also be relaxed too much, if you use a Weaver stance. If that is the case, use the Isosceles stance, which is a more balanced and steady position - both arms are locked out and wrists are stable. Take a very slow, steady and methodical trigger press...see how it turns out. Fire off a few rounds as slowly as possible. Take your time. Don't try to force your arms to stay still either. That "wobble" won't make a big difference in your shot placement if you have a good trigger press. Trying to force them to stay still can be causing some of that "push" with your arms.

What is standing at right angles to the target in archery?

In technical terms, defined as "stance". When assuming the stance, (right-handed) archers will have their left shoulder facing their target with the feet to the side, forming an imaginary right triangle from the high and low points of the body to the target (left-handed archers do the same, but with their right shoulder facing the target).

What is rounded to the nearest ten?

When rounding to a specific place, take a look at the digit immediately to the right of the target, in this case, the ones place. If that digit is 4 or less, zero everything to the right of the target out. If that digit is 5 through 9, increase the target by one and zero everything to the right of it out. If the target is a 9, increasing it will turn it to zero and increase the digit to the left of the target by one.
