Answer:

Solution:-

Given : scale of map = 1 : 1000000

1 cm represents to 1000000 cm on the ground.

Therefore,

1 cm × 1 cm = 1 cm² (on the map)

And, 1000000 cm × 1000000 cm = 1000000000000 cm² (on the ground)

1 km = 100000 cm × 100000 cm = 10000000000

So, the area on the ground = 1000000000000/10000000000

= 100 sq km

As the area of the forest on the map is 4.6 cm².

So, the actual area of the forest = 100 × 4.6

= 460 sq m
