DRAWING TO SCALE.

When drawing a map, or plan, to scale you should always begin by making a rough sketch showing the given dimensions, and then work from the sketch.

The bearing of a place A from a second place B is the point of the compass towards which a man at B would be facing if he were looking in the direction of A.

By "N. 10° W." or "10° W. of N." is meant the direction in which you would be looking if you first faced due north and then turned through an angle of 10° towards the west.

Ex. 234. A is 2.5 miles W. of B, and C is 4.5 miles S. of A. What is the distance from B to C? What is the bearing of B from C, and of C from B? (Scale 1 mile to 1 inch.)

Ex. 235. G is 7.5 miles S. of H, and 10 miles W. of K. What is the distance and bearing of K from H? (Scale 1 mile to 1 cm.)

Ex. 236. X is 17.5 miles N. W. of Y, Y is 23 miles N.E. of Z. What is the distance and bearing of X from Z? (Scale 10 miles to 1 inch.)

Ex. 237. P is 64 miles W. of Q, R is due N. of Q; if PR is 72 miles, what is QR? What is the bearing of P from R? (Scale 10 miles to 1 cm.)

Ex. 238. Draw a plan of a room 30 ft. by 22 ft.; find the distances between opposite corners. (Scale 2 ft. to 1 cm.)

Ex. 239. Exeter is 48 miles W. of Dorchester, and Barnstaple is 35 miles N.W. of Exeter. What is the distance and bearing of Barnstaple from Dorchester? (Scale 10 miles to 1 in.)

Ex. 240. Rugby is 44 miles N. of Oxford, and Reading is 24 miles S. 30° E. of Oxford. Find the distance from Rugby to Reading. (Scale 10 miles to 1 in.)
