Question

The scale of map is 14 cm long. Calculate the actual length of the river in kilometres

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1cm = 85 km (on the map)

so map is

14 x 14 long or 85 x 85

Part A:

since the map is 14cm long, and the river is also 14 cm long, and each centimeter is equal to 85km, that means, =

14 x 85 = 1190km

so the river is 1190km long

Part B:

we can use just convert 765 into map cm to get answer,

sooo

765/85 = 9cm

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT:D
