Paper 2, calculatorMedium6 marks

Two survey points, AA and BB lie on a straight east–west path, with BB due east of AA The points are 1.201.20 km apart. A radio beacon CC is north of the path. The bearing of CC from AA is 035∘035^\circ and the bearing of CC from BB is 310∘310^\circ Bearings are measured clockwise from north.

(a)

Construct a labelled diagram showing the positions of AA BB and CC the distance ABAB north, and the given bearings.
