Why are maps not always completely an accurate representation of Earth's surface?

It is absolutely impossible to depict a round earth on a flat surface without sacrificing at least some accuracy. In fact, a map can only be accurate in one of four domains: shape, area, distance, or direction. ...

Mariko has an 80:1 scale-drawing of the floor plan of her house. On the floor plan, the dimensions of her rectangular living roo
Crazy boy [7]

In order to get to the result we will need to use the scale and the numbers that are provided of the dimensions of the room.

The dimensions of the room on the floor plan are 17.8 inches by 21.2 inches. We first need to multiply these numbers with the scale:

17.8 x 80 = 1,424

21.2 x 80 = 1,696

Now that we got the real measures we need to multiply these two values in order to get to a result as in how many square inches is the room:

1,424 x 1696 = 2,425,104

Now we need to convert the square inches into square feet to get to the final result:

1 ft² = 144 in²

2,425,104 / 144 = 16,771.56

So we have a result of 16,771.56 square feet.
