Five towns V,W,X,UY and Z are situated such that W is 200km east of V.

      

Five towns V,W,X,UY and Z are situated such that W is 200km east of V. X is 300km from W on a bearing of 150^o. Y is 350km on a bearing of 240^o from X. Z is 150^o from V but 200^o from X.
Draw the diagram representing the position of the towns. ( use a scale of 1cm to represent 50km) .

(b) From the diagram determine
(i) the distance in km of V from Z
(ii) The bearing of Y from W

(c) A plane heading to town X takes off from town y and flies upwards of a constant angle which
is less than 90^o. After flying a distance of 350km in the air it sees town x at an angle of depression of 50^o. Calculate the distance of the plane from x at this point to the nearest km.
