Understanding the Directions
To determine the direction of K with respect to M, we first need to establish the positions of the poles based on the information given.
Positions of the Poles
- Pole M: Located 50m west of Pole P.
- Pole P: Located 35m south of Pole K.
- Pole V: Located exactly between M and P.
Mapping the Locations
1. Positioning K, P, and M:
- Start with K at the origin (0,0).
- P is then 35m south of K, placing it at (0, -35).
- M is 50m west of P, placing it at (-50, -35).
2. Finding V:
- Since V is halfway between M and P:
- The coordinates for V can be calculated as:
- V = ((-50 + 0)/2, (-35 + (-35))/2) = (-25, -35).
3. Positioning R:
- R is to the west of K and north of V, meaning R is somewhere in the northwest quadrant relative to K.
Determining the Direction of K with Respect to M
- From the positioning:
- K is at (0, 0).
- M is at (-50, -35).
Calculating the Direction
- To find the direction of K from M:
- Move from M (-50, -35) to K (0, 0).
- This movement is towards the northeast direction since K is to the right (east) and upward (north) relative to M.
Conclusion
Thus, K is located in the north-east direction relative to M. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D'.
