Question

Convert the following verbal scale to R.F scale :
. 1cm = 63 km​

Answer 1

Given,

The value of verbal scale is = 1cm = 63km

To find,

Conversion of the given verbal scale into RF scale.

Solution,

We can simply solve this numerical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Here in the verbal scale,

Drawing length of 1 cm represents the actual length of 63 kilometres.

RF Scale = Drawing length / Actual length

= 1 cm / 63 km

= 1 cm / 6300000 cm

= 1 / 6300000

= 1 : 6300000

(Map distance 1 cm represents 6300000 cm ground distance.)

Hence, the value of RF scale is 1 : 6300000 (Map distance 1 cm represents 6300000 cm ground distance.)
