Question

In a map a 24 km distance is shown by a line 30 cm long. Calculate the R.F. and construct a plain scale to read kilometers and hectometers, for max. 12 km. Show a distance of 9.5 km on it.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ratio factor is 24/30 = 0.8. km to a CM.

1 centimer on scale = 0.8 Kilometer

1 millimeter on scale = 0.8 hecto meters

15 Centimeter = 12 Kilometer.

9.5 K.m = 9.5/.08 = 11.9 Cm approx.
