Question

The R.F. of a map is 1 : 50,000. The M D between two points is 7.5 cms. Find out the ground distance between them. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Answers are:

Actual Distance= 375000

In Meters= 3750 m

In Kilometers= 3.75 km

Explanation:

R.F of a map= 1:50,000

MD between two points= 7.5cms

Actual Distance= X

Formula:

$1 \div 50000 = 7.5cms \div x$

After cross multiplication it would be:

$x = 7.5 \times 50000$

X= 375000 (Actual Distance)

In meters:

For converting in meters we divide the value by 100.

X= 375000/100

X= 3750m

In Kilometers:

For converting in kilometers we divide the meters value by 1000.

X= 3750/1000

X= 3.75km
