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

- (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.
- (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.
- (i)
Calculate the distance HQ on the scale drawing.
Answer HQ = ... cm
- (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 .
Any point on this line is equidistant from the two line segments and .
2. Construct the locus of points equidistant from $P$ and $S$, then locate $A$.
Draw the perpendicular bisector of .
Any point on this line is equidistant from and .
Mark the intersection of this perpendicular bisector with the angle bisector of as .
Mark at the intersection of the internal angle bisector of and the perpendicular bisector of .
24(b)(i)
1. Convert the actual distance $750\text{ m}$ to centimetres and apply the scale.
Scale means
.
So the distance on the scale drawing is
24(b)(ii)
1. Construct the two loci that determine the position of $H$.
From , draw a ray on a bearing of .
Using part (b)(i), , so draw an arc or circle with centre and radius .
Mark the intersection of this arc with the bearing ray as .
Mark at the intersection of the ray from on a bearing of and the circle centred at with radius .
