BEARINGS
Practice
4. A plane takes off heading north-west and is told to take a left-hand turn at 5000 feet. What bearing is the
plane now headed on?
5. The diagram shows a map of an island. The scale of the map is 1 cm = 10 km. A and B are towns.
a. Some treasure is buried on the island. It is on a bearing of 045° and 40 km from A. By accurate
drawing show the position of the treasure on the map. Mark the position with an X.
8. In following questions, use a protector to measure the bearings. Show the north arrow in each case.
9. Two explorers set off from the same point one morning. One explorer travels at 4.5 mph on a bearing of
036° and the other explorer travels at 5.5 mph on a bearing of 063°. Using a scale of 0.5 cm to 1 mile,
calculate how far they are apart after 2 hours.
10. A car starts at a point A. It travels a distance of 5 km on a bearing of 135° to point B. From B it travels 8
km on a bearing of 280° to point C.
a. Draw a diagram to show these bearings and journeys. Use a scale of 1 cm:1 km and take north as a
line vertically up the page.
c. The car makes its way straight back from C d. Another car travels directly from A to C.
to A. i. What distance does it travel?
i. What distance does it travel? ii. On what bearing does it travel?
ii. On what bearing does it travel?

2.
a. Construct the perpendiculars from the point X to the line.
b. Construct the bisector of YXZ.
3. Construct the following geometric patterns using a ruler and a pair of compasses.
a. b.
b. Measure the length of the side of the square, which is marked x in the
diagram. Write your measurement to the nearest millimetre.
Practice 3
1. Construct triangle ABC which a 𝑎 = 7.6 cm, 𝑏 = 5.6 cm and ∠ABC = 44°.
2. Draw any triangle ABC, then construct the perpendicular bisectors of the two longest sides. Label the point
of intersection of these perpendicular bisectors O. Draw the circle center O and radius OA.
3. Construct triangle PQR where 𝑝 = 4.5 cm, 𝑞 = 6 cm and 𝑟 = 7.5 cm. What do you notice about your
triangle?
2. Draw a line CD 10 cm long. Draw the locus of all the points 4 cm from the line, including its ends points.
4. Two points L and M are 6 cm apart. Find the locus of points 4 cm from both points L and M.
5. A goat is tied to a rail 8 m long. The rope tying the goat to the rail is 3
m in length and is free to run along the whole length of the rail.
a. Draw a scale diagram of the rail.
b. Construct the locus of all the points which can be reached by the
goat.
All the methods used for drawing three-dimensional objects so far have involved two-dimensional views of the
objects. However, views that look three-dimensional can also be used. There are many different types of three-
dimensional drawings. One of the most common is called an isometric drawing.
Figure B
Diagram of the figure C shows three cubes joined together to form
an L-shape. Notice how only the faces and edges that can be seen
are drawn, and how the shading has helped to show the direction
of the faces.

provided.
