The question, in short

Using a scaled map where 1 cm stands for 0.5 km, work out the real separation of villages P and Q and the compass direction from P to Q.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and the diagram.

Part (a) · 2 marks

Convert the measured length between P and Q on the drawing into the real distance in km.

  1. 1Measure PQ on the drawing with a ruler (it should be between 8.8 cm and 9.2 cm, about 9 cm)
  2. 2Actual distance = 9 × 0.5 = 4.5 km

Answer4.4 to 4.6

Part (b) · 1 mark

Use a protractor on the diagram to state the bearing of Q as seen from P.

  1. 1At P, measure the angle clockwise from the North line to the line PQ with a protractor
  2. 2Bearing ≈ 110°

Answer108 to 112
