Question

the scale on a map is 1:25000 how many kilometres on the ground is represented by 9cm on the map

Answer 1

Answer: 2.25km

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we need to find out what the real life scale is so if we get this we'll see its 0.25km but we need to times that by 9 to find the answer which then would be 2.25km

Answer 2

Answer:

We get 9 cm on the map representing 2.25 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

• As per the question we have to evaluate the given data.

         Given data:- scale on the map is 1:25000.

         To find:- Actual distance of 9 cm on map.

         Solution:-

• First, we have to find the actual distance for 1 cm on the map:

         [tex]\begin{array}{l} 1 \mathrm{~cm}=25000 \mathrm{~cm} \\ 1 \mathrm{~cm}=250 \mathrm{~m} \\ 1 \mathrm{~cm}=0.25 \mathrm{~km} \end{array}[/tex]

• Now Find the actual distance for 9 cm on the map:

         [tex]\begin{array}{l} 1 \mathrm{~cm}=0.25 \mathrm{~km} \\ 9 \mathrm{~cm}=0.25 \times 9=2.25 \mathrm{~km} \end{array}[/tex]

        We get 9 cm on the map representing 2.25 km.
