Two boats are 50 km apart. Boat A is due west of B.

Boat A sails on a bearing of 060° and boat B sails on a bearing of 300°.

Using a scale drawing, find at which distance from A's initial position will the boats collide. (upload your Google slides presentation with the working out).

• at 27 km from A's initial position

• at 35 km from A's initial position

• at 15 km from A's initial position

• at 42 km from A's initial position

A scale drawing uses a scale of 1 cm represents 10 km. What is the real distance if the distance on the drawing is 13 cm?
