Four towns are situated in such a way that town Q is 500km on a bearing of 120º from P. Town R is 240km on a bearing of 210º from town P, while town S is due north of town Q and due east of town P.
a) Draw a sketch diagram showing the relative positions of P, Q, R and S.
sorry - repetition is too annoying.
Did you draw the sketch?
What are the coordinates of each town?
To draw a sketch diagram showing the relative positions of P, Q, R, and S, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by drawing a point on a piece of paper or a graph representing town P.
2. From town P, draw a line segment 500km long at an angle of 120º in a clockwise direction. Label this line segment as PQ.
3. From town P, draw a line segment 240km long at an angle of 210º in a clockwise direction. Label this line segment as PR.
4. From town Q, draw a line segment directly upwards representing the north direction. Label this line segment as QS.
5. From town P, draw a line segment directly towards the right representing the east direction. Label this line segment as PS.
Your final sketch diagram should show four points labeled as P, Q, R, and S, where P is the starting point, Q is 500km on a bearing of 120º from P, R is 240km on a bearing of 210º from P, and S is located north of Q and east of P.
