Question
A plot of land of area 20km2 is represented on the map with a scale factor of 1:200000. Find: The number of KM represented by 2cm on the map.
Solution
1cm on the map = 200,000cm on the land (as the scale is 1:200000)
1km = 100000cm
`"distance(map)"/"distance(land)"` = Scale
`(2)/("distance(land)" xx (100000)) = (1)/((200000)`
Hence 2cm on map
= `(2 xx 200000)/(100000)`
= 4km.
