of a lake of area 5000 m2?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

given scale =1:1000

As 1cm×1cm=1000m×1000m

So,5000m2(5000m×5000m)

= 5cm2(5cm×5cm)

Answer 2

Answer:

50 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

1 : 1000

1m = 1000 ÷ 100 = 10 cm

1m2 = (10cm)2 = 100 cm2

1/100 m2 = 1 cm2  

5000 m2 = 5000 ÷ 100 = 50 cm2
