Question

The distance between two
stations by road is 200km and it is
represented on a certain map by 5cm long line.
Find the R.F and construct a
diagonal scale showing a single kilometer and long enough
to measure up to 600km. Show a distance of 467 km on this scale.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

10.6cm

250 km=5 cm

600 km =5×600/250

12 cm

600 km 12 cm

530 km=12×530/600

10.6cm

Answer 2

Answer:

The distance of 467km will be 11.67 cm on the scale.

Explanation:

Distance:

• Distance is a numerical measurement of the distance between two objects or places.
• The distance can refer to a physical length or an estimate based on other factors in physics or common use.
• The distance between two points A and B is commonly expressed as |AB|.
• In most circumstances, "distance from A to B" and "distance from B to A" are equivalent.
• A distance function or metric is a mathematical extension of the idea of physical distance; it describes what it means for components of space to be "near to" or "far away from" each other.
• Distance is a non-numerical measurement in psychology and social sciences; psychological distance is described as "the various ways in which an object could be distanced from" the self along dimensions such as "time, space, social distance, and hypotheticality."

Given:

200Km is scaled down to 5cm

To find:

1cm= 40km

600 km = 5×600/200= 15 cm

467 km=15×467/600 = 11.67 cm

Thus, the distance will be scaled down to 11.67 on a map of a similar scale with 600 km as the base.
