Step-by-step solution

This question requires a scale drawing, which I cannot physically create. However, I can provide all the necessary calculations and detailed instructions for you to construct the drawing accurately.

  1. Calculate the distance traveled by each plane after 3 hours.

    The formula for distance is Distance=Speed×Time\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}.
    Time elapsed for all planes is 3 hours.

    For Plane A:

    DistanceA=400 km/h×3 h=1200 km\text{Distance}_A = 400 \text{ km/h} \times 3 \text{ h} = 1200 \text{ km}

    For Plane B:

    DistanceB=300 km/h×3 h=900 km\text{Distance}_B = 300 \text{ km/h} \times 3 \text{ h} = 900 \text{ km}

    For Plane C:

    DistanceC=500 km/h×3 h=1500 km\text{Distance}_C = 500 \text{ km/h} \times 3 \text{ h} = 1500 \text{ km}
  2. Convert these distances to lengths on the scale drawing.

    The given scale is 1 cm1 \text{ cm} represents 200 km200 \text{ km}.
    To find the length on the drawing, divide the actual distance by the scale factor (200 km/cm200 \text{ km/cm}).

    For Plane A:

    LengthA=1200 km200 km/cm=6 cm\text{Length}_A = \frac{1200 \text{ km}}{200 \text{ km/cm}} = 6 \text{ cm}

    For Plane B:

    LengthB=900 km200 km/cm=4.5 cm\text{Length}_B = \frac{900 \text{ km}}{200 \text{ km/cm}} = 4.5 \text{ cm}

    For Plane C:

    LengthC=1500 km200 km/cm=7.5 cm\text{Length}_C = \frac{1500 \text{ km}}{200 \text{ km/cm}} = 7.5 \text{ cm}
  3. Instructions for creating the scale drawing.

    To show the relative positions of the three planes, follow these steps:

    1. Mark a point P in the center of your paper to represent the airport.
    2. Draw a vertical line upwards from point P. This line represents the North direction.
    3. For Plane A:
      • Using a protractor, measure an angle of 070∘070^\circ clockwise from the North line at point P.
      • Draw a line segment from P along this 070∘070^\circ bearing, with a length of 6 cm. Label the end of this segment as A.
    4. For Plane B:
      • Using a protractor, measure an angle of 162∘162^\circ clockwise from the North line at point P.
      • Draw a line segment from P along this 162∘162^\circ bearing, with a length of 4.5 cm. Label the end of this segment as B.
    5. For Plane C:
      • Using a protractor, measure an angle of 290∘290^\circ clockwise from the North line at point P.
      • Draw a line segment from P along this 290∘290^\circ bearing, with a length of 7.5 cm. Label the end of this segment as C.
    6. Clearly indicate the scale used on your drawing: 1 cm=200 km1 \text{ cm} = 200 \text{ km}.

    The lengths to be drawn for each plane are:
    Plane A: 6 cm\boxed{\text{6 cm}}
    Plane B: 4.5 cm\boxed{\text{4.5 cm}}
    Plane C: 7.5 cm\boxed{\text{7.5 cm}}
