The scale of a map is 1:250000. On the map a large forest has an area of 6cm². Calculate the actual area of the forest. Give you
1 answer:
The distance on map exists 32 cm and actual area exists 37.5 km².
<h3>How to estimate the actual area of the forest in square kilometers?</h3>
Given: Scale of the map exists at 1:250000.
(a) Distance between two cities = 80 km
= 80000 m
= 8000000 cm
Distance on map = 8000000 1/ 250000
= 32 cm
(b) Area of map = 6 cm²
Actual area = cm²
cm²
= 37.5 km²
Therefore, the distance on map exists 32 cm and actual area exists 37.5 km².

To dilate an object means to enlarge or reduce the size of the object. The scale factor will determine how much larger or smaller the object will become. If this factor is greater than 1, the object will increase in size. Otherwise, if the factor is less than 1, the object will decrease in size. So, the dilated object will be similar to its original. On the other hand, when corresponding points of the original and dilated figures are connected by straight lines, the center of dilation is the point where all the lines meet. In this problem, the center is (0, 0). When the center is the origin we need to multiply all the original coordinates of the object by the scale factor given. So:
So, the graph of the dilated triangle is shown in the Figure below
