Question
The scale of a map is 1 : 200000. A plot of land of area 20km2 is to be represented on the map. Find
The area on the map that represents the plot of land.
Solution
4 km2 is represented by km2
1 km2 is represented by `1/4` cm2
20km2 is represented by `1/4 xx 20` cm2 = 5 cm2
Area on map that represents the plot of land= 5 cm2
