1 Four points B, C, Q and D lie on the same plane. Point B is 42km due southwest point Q.
Point C is 50 km on a bearing of S60oE from Q. Point D is equidistant from B, Q and C.
a) Using the scale: 1cm represents 10km, construct a diagram showing the positions
of B, C, Q and D. (5mks)
b) Determine the
(i) Distance between B and C (1mk)
(ii) Bearing of D from B (2mks)
c) Find the distance and bearing of D from C. (2mks)
2 A boat at point x is 200 m to the south of point Y. The boat sails X to another point Z.
Point Z is 200m on a bearing of 3100 from X, Y and Z are on the same horizontal plane.
a) Calculate the bearing and the distance of Z from Y ( 3 marks)
b) W is the point on the path of the boat nearest to Y. Calculate the distance WY ( 2
marks)
c) A vertical tower stands at point Y. The angle of point X from the top of the tower
is 60 calculate the angle of elevation of the top of the tower from W (3 marks)
