Towns K and L are shown on a map.

a) Work out the actual distance

between towns K and L.

b) A third town, M, is 150 km due

South of town K.

Mark M on the map with X.

c) Measure the bearing of town L

from town K.​

Scale: 1cm represent 50km

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale: 1cm represent 50km

a) To find the actual distance between towns K and L use a ruler to measure the distance between K and L.

Your answer would be in centimetres (cm).

The answer obtained would be multiplied by 50km because from the scale given 1cm represent 50km.

Therefore you'll get the actual distance in km.

b) Here we are told M is 150 km due

South of town K.

Since the length of the initial diagram is in centimeters, we have to find how many centimeters equals 150km.

50km = 1cm

150km = (150km × 1cm)/50km = 150cm/50

150km = 3cm

Now we can represent the distance between K and M on the diagram.

Measure 3cm from K using a ruler in the direction of south (straight line downwards). The distance of M from K would be 3cm on the south of k.

c) Draw a cross on the position of K. Also draw a cross on the position of L. Connect the distance and measure the angle from K to L. The unit would be in degrees.

From the diagram, the angle is greater than 090° but less than 180°

Find attached the diagram.
