1. **Problem statement:** From a harbour H, the bearing of a ship S is 312°. The ship is 3.5 km from the harbour. We need to draw a sketch labeling points H and S, the length (distance), and the angle (bearing). 2. **Understanding bearings:** Bearings are measured clockwise from the north direction. A bearing of 312° means the ship is located 312° clockwise from north at harbour H. 3. **Sketch details:** - Draw a vertical line pointing upwards to represent north at point H. - From H, measure an angle of 312° clockwise from north. - Mark point S at 3.5 km along this direction. 4. **Labeling:** - Label the harbour as H. - Label the ship as S. - Label the distance HS = 3.5 km. - Label the angle at H as 312° from north to the line HS. This sketch visually represents the ship's position relative to the harbour using the given bearing and distance.
