Follow these steps to construct a triangle to represent the given information: Draw a ray in the direction S 20° E from point P. Create a circle with radius 43.5. (Note that you'll be scaling down all the distances in miles by a factor of 10: 435 ÷ 10 = 43.5.) Label the point where the circle intersects the ray as C (Cali).
Draw a ray in the direction S 81° E from P. Mark an arbitrary point on this ray, and label it S.
Create a line through point S that is parallel to the north-south line through P.
Using the line passing through point S, draw a ray that is S 53° W.
Move point S along line PS until the ray S 53° W from S passes through point C. This position of S locates San Cristobal.
