Question

The distance between two towns is 250 km and is represented by a line of length 50 mm on a map. Construct a Plain Scale to read 600 km and indicate a distance of 530 km on it.

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance beyween 2 towns A and B is 250 Km

On map it is represented by a line length =50 mm

Scale

THE PROPORTION CHOOSEN FOR A PARTICULAR MAP IS THE SCALE

SCALE IS THE RELATION SFHIP BETWEEN THE DISTAMCE ON THE MAP AND DISTANCE ON THE GROUND

Representative Fraction

Given actual length is 1cm =100cm

And length of drawing is 5cm

RF = 5cm/100 = 0.05 or 1/20

X/50= 600/250

X=50×600/250 = 120

Y/50 = 530 /120

Y= 50×530/120=220.83

hope its help full
