Geometry and Scale Diagram Instructions

The document provides geometric definitions for shapes such as cubes, cylinders, and triangular prisms. It explains a scale diagram for measuring distances between two islands, A and B, and describes how to find the bearing of one island from the other. Additionally, it outlines the steps to construct triangle ABC using a ruler and compass based on given distances.

 Complete these statements:

 a. A cube has 6 faces.


 b. A cylinder has 2 vertices (the top and bottom).
 c. A triangular prism has 6 edges (3 edges from the base and 3 connecting the top and
bottom).

 The scale diagram shows two islands at A and B.

 Scale: 2 cm to 1 km.
 a. The scale can be written as 1 : 0.5 (because 2 cm = 1 km, therefore, 1 cm represents
0.5 km).
 b. To find the bearing of B from A using a ruler, you would measure the angle between
the north line (represented by the vertical arrow) and the line connecting points A and B.
 c. For the island at C:
o Use the compass to find the point C on the northern side of AB, 3 km from A and
2.5 km from B, based on the scale.

To construct triangle ABC using a ruler and compass:

 Draw a line segment AB.


 Use a compass to mark 3 km from A and 2.5 km from B, then connect the points to form
triangle ABC.
