Step-by-step solution
3 stepsThis 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.
Calculate the distance traveled by each plane after 3 hours.
The formula for distance is .
Time elapsed for all planes is 3 hours.For Plane A:
For Plane B:
For Plane C:
Convert these distances to lengths on the scale drawing.
The given scale is represents .
To find the length on the drawing, divide the actual distance by the scale factor ().For Plane A:
For Plane B:
For Plane C:
Instructions for creating the scale drawing.
To show the relative positions of the three planes, follow these steps:
- Mark a point P in the center of your paper to represent the airport.
- Draw a vertical line upwards from point P. This line represents the North direction.
- For Plane A:
- Using a protractor, measure an angle of clockwise from the North line at point P.
- Draw a line segment from P along this bearing, with a length of 6 cm. Label the end of this segment as A.
- For Plane B:
- Using a protractor, measure an angle of clockwise from the North line at point P.
- Draw a line segment from P along this bearing, with a length of 4.5 cm. Label the end of this segment as B.
- For Plane C:
- Using a protractor, measure an angle of clockwise from the North line at point P.
- Draw a line segment from P along this bearing, with a length of 7.5 cm. Label the end of this segment as C.
- Clearly indicate the scale used on your drawing: .
The lengths to be drawn for each plane are:
Plane A:
Plane B:
Plane C:
