Answer:

5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

the scans means that any distance on the map is 50000 times larger in real life.

so, 10 cm on the map is

10×50000 = 500000 cm in real life.

now, we know that 100cm = 1 m

so, it is 500000/100 = 5000 m in real life.

and there are 1000 m in 1 km.

so, it is 5000/1000 = 5 km in real life
