6 The diagram shows an accurate scale drawing of part of the boundary of a field.
The complete boundary of the field is in the shape of a quadrilateral ABCD.

\(AB = 300\) metres.
\(BC = 230\) metres.
Point B is due north of point C.

The scale of the diagram is 1 cm to 50 metres.

The bearing of D from C is 260°
\(AD = 480\) metres.

Complete the scale drawing of the boundary of the field.
Mark the position of D.

Scale drawing: line AB of 300 m running to B, then BC of 230 m running due south from B to C; a North arrow

Mark scheme

Scheme	Marks
One bearing line at 260° (± 2°) or one 9.6 cm line (± 2mm) from A	M1
Intersection of 2 lines in boundary of overlay	A1
	(2 marks)

Notes

A1: Condone omission of \(D\) label
Correct position of \(D\) within tolerance without any lines scores M1A1.
