1. using the scale 1cm = 10m, construct an accurate scale drawing showing the positions of P,Q,R, and S
2. by measurement from your scale drawing determine;
   • the distance and bearing of R from Q
   • the distance and bearing of S from R 
   • the distance of S from P

Answer 1

1. 
   
2.    
   • 11.3 x 10=113m±1
   • Bearing 067±1
   • Bearing 180º
