Question

the scale of a map is 1 : 4000000 what is the actual distance between two towns if they are 5cm appear the map

Answer 1

Answer:

THE RATIO BETWEEN THE SCALE OF MAP AND ACTUAL DISTANCE IS 1:400000

THEREFORE, 1/4000000= 5cm/ACTUAL DISTANCE

                       ⇒ACTUAL DISTANCE = 5×4000000cm

                       ⇒ACTUAL DISTANCE =20000000cm

                                                              = 200km
