(a) A transverse is a series of connected straight lines whose lengths and bearings are measured. An open transverse starts from one end oF a particular road or path to another (See diagram below). It is transverse, i.e. straight line that doesn't close at the point of origin.

Line	Length (mm)	Length (cm)	Bearing
AB	370m	7.4cm
BC	450m	6.5cm
CD	265m	5.3cm
DE	560m	11.0cm
EA	140m	2.8cm

Use the data above to: (i) plot the area of the compound on a scale of 1 cm to 50m.
(ii) find the direct distance between D and A, in metres = 12.6cm. Scale = lcm to 50m (1:5,000) 12.7cm = 12.7 x 50 = 635m

Scale: 1:5000 (1cm to 50m)
