    You have to draw your diagram by yourself! Take your ruler and your protactor and set to work! Use an appropriate scale, say,

    1 in to represent 1 km
    Or 1 cm to represent 1 km.

    As Unknown said, make a drawing. These are difficult without it. It is only a matter of basic right angle trig.
