Question

The scale of a map is 1:1000. What are the actual
dimensions of a rectangle which appears as 4 cm by
3 cm on the map? What is the area on the map in
cm2? What is the actual area in m2?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 12 sq cm

2. 1200 sq m

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale of the map is 1:1000

=> 1 cm = 1000 cm

=> 1 cm = 10 m (100 cm = 1m)

=> 4 cm = 40 m and 3 cm = 30 m

Area on the map will be 4 cm x 3 cm = 12 sq cm

Actual area of 4 cm x 3 cm on map

= 40 m x 30 m

= 1200 sq m

Answer 2

Scale of the map is 1:1000

=> 1 cm = 1000 cm

=> 1 cm = 10 m (100 cm = 1m)

=> 4 cm = 40 m and 3 cm = 30 m

Area on the map will be 4 cm x 3 cm = 12 sq cm

Actual area of 4 cm x 3 cm on map

= 40 m x 30 m

= 1200 sq m
