Question

A scale of 1 cm to 8 km is used for a map.

Answer 1

Answer:

40 km^2

16 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale drawing is a reduced form in terms of dimensions of an original image / building / object

the scale drawing is usually reduced at a constant dimension

scale of the drawing = original dimensions / dimensions of the scale drawing

Actual area = scale factor x scaled area

8 x 5 = 40 km^2

Scaled area on the map = 128.8 = 16 cm^2
