30^{\circ}

north of east on a sketch map using the scale

1\,\text{cm}

0.5\,\text{km}

. Which of the following descriptions correctly represents the vector on the map? (a) Draw a

10\,\text{cm}

arrow making an angle of

above the east direction. (b) Draw a

10\,\text{cm}

arrow making an angle of

60^{\circ}

above the east direction. (c) Draw a

5\,\text{cm}

arrow making an angle of

30^{\circ}

above the east direction. (d) Draw a

10\,\text{cm}

arrow making an angle of

30^{\circ}

south of east.
