Question

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 your answers in square kilometers.​

Answer 1

The distance on map exists 32 cm and actual area exists 37.5 km².

How to estimate the actual area of the forest in square kilometers?

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 = $6(250000)^2$ cm²

$= 6 * 625 * 10^8$ cm²

$= 3750 * 10^8/ 10^{10}$

= 37.5 km²

Therefore, the distance on map exists 32 cm and actual area exists 37.5 km².
