On the scale drawing, P, Q, R and S are the positions of four garden statues in a park. PQRS is a quadrilateral. Scale: 1 : 25 000

  1. (a)

    A water-cooler is to be built at A where it is equidistant from the line segments PS and PQ and the points P and S.

    On the scale drawing, mark the point A.

  2. (b)

    The garden statue at R is due east of S.

    The gardener plans to build a pavilion at H.

    The bearing of H from R is 315° and 750 m from Q.

    1. (i)

      Calculate the distance HQ on the scale drawing.

      Answer HQ = ... cm

    2. (ii)

      Mark the point H on the diagram above.

Worked solution

24(a)

1. Construct the locus of points equidistant from the line segments $PS$ and $PQ$.

Draw the internal angle bisector of ∠SPQ\angle SPQ.
Any point on this line is equidistant from the two line segments PSPS and PQPQ.

2. Construct the locus of points equidistant from $P$ and $S$, then locate $A$.

Draw the perpendicular bisector of PSPS.
Any point on this line is equidistant from PP and SS.

Mark the intersection of this perpendicular bisector with the angle bisector of ∠SPQ\angle SPQ as AA.

Answer

Mark AA at the intersection of the internal angle bisector of ∠SPQ\angle SPQ and the perpendicular bisector of PSPS.

24(b)(i)

1. Convert the actual distance $750\text{ m}$ to centimetres and apply the scale.

Scale 1:25 0001:25\,000 means

1 cm on drawing=25 000 cm in actual distance1\text{ cm on drawing} = 25\,000\text{ cm in actual distance}.

750 m=75 000 cm750\text{ m} = 75\,000\text{ cm}

So the distance on the scale drawing is

75 00025 000=3 cm.\frac{75\,000}{25\,000}=3\text{ cm}.

Answer

HQ=3 cmHQ = 3\text{ cm}

24(b)(ii)

1. Construct the two loci that determine the position of $H$.

From RR, draw a ray on a bearing of 315∘315^\circ.

Using part (b)(i), HQ=3 cmHQ = 3\text{ cm}, so draw an arc or circle with centre QQ and radius 3 cm3\text{ cm}.

Mark the intersection of this arc with the bearing ray as HH.

Answer

Mark HH at the intersection of the ray from RR on a bearing of 315∘315^\circ and the circle centred at QQ with radius 3 cm3\text{ cm}.
