A ship leaves port p for port R though port Q.Q is 200 km on a bearing of 220⁰ from P.R is 420 km on the bearing of 140⁰ from from Q.

a) Using the scale 1:4,000,000, draw a diagram, showing the relative positions of the three ports P,Q, and R.
b) By further drawing on the same diagram, determine how far R is to the east of p Distance = 3.5 x40
c) If the ship has sailed directly from P to R at an average speed of 40 knots, find how long it would have taken to arrive at R.(Take 1 nautical mile = 1.853 km)
