Answer 2

Answer:

The scale of a map is the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. This simple concept is complicated by the curvature of the Earth's surface, which forces scale to vary across a map. Because of this variation, the concept of scale becomes meaningful in two distinct ways .

1/200 = x/1200

200x = 1200

x = 6 cm

hope it help u....
