Question

the scale of a map is 1:100000 find (in km) the length of a road which is respresented by a line 4.7cm long on the map​

Answer 1

Answer:

4.7 Km is the original distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale of the map =1:100000

Let the original length be X.

Therefore,

4.7:X = 1:100000

X =4.7×100000

X=470000cm.

Or,

Since, 1Km=100000cm

X=(470000/100000) =4.7Km.

Answer 2

Answer:

4.7 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

scale one the map= 1:100000

length of the road = X

4.7:X=1:100000

X= 4.7*100000

X=470000

thus,lenght in KM =

1 KM =100000 cm

therefore,

X= 470000/100000

X= 4.7 km
