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

Part (a) · 2 marks

Measure the drawn length between K and L and convert it to actual distance using 1 cm = 10 km.

  1. 1Measure KL with a ruler: 8.5 cm
  2. 28.5 × 10 = 85 km

Answer85 (accept 83 to 87)

Part (b) · 1 mark

Measure the bearing of L from K using the North arrow at K.

  1. 1Measure clockwise from the North line at K to the line KL
  2. 2Bearing = 065°

Answer065 (accept 063 to 067)

Part (c) · 2 marks

Plot M 40 km from L on a bearing of 140°, using the scale.

  1. 140 km ÷ 10 = 4 cm
  2. 2From L, measure 140° clockwise from North and mark M 4 cm from L along that line

AnswerM in correct position
