Question

On a map scale 1: 20 000 the area of a forest is 50cm^2. On another map the area of
the forest is 8 cm^2. Find the scale of the second map.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the scale will be 1 : (8/50 times 20,000)

Dimesion of forest on map=2cm ×25cm

Dimesion of actual forest=(2×20000)×(25×20000)

Area of the actual forest=20×10`9 cm2

Scale of the second map=8cm2 : 2×10`10cm2

(By root we get) 1: 50000
