11. A speed boat sets off from an island M on a bearing of 0800 to an island X at an average speed of 150kmh-1, island X is 450 km from island M. at X it alters its course to a bearing of 2000 and maintains the average speed of 150kmh-1 for 3 hours until it reaches island Y. it then moves to island P is 400 km from island M.

a) Using a scale of 1 cm to represent 50 km, construct a scale drawing to show the route of the speed boat.

b) Use the scale drawing in (a) to find the distance PY.

c) Calculate the

(i) Total time taken for the speed boat to move from M to P.
