Question

A property map is drawn at a scale of 1:1000. Calculate the corresponding actual distance if the distance between two points on the map is 10 cm

Answer 1

Explanation:

a scale rate of 1 : 1000 means that e.g. 1 cm on the map corresponds to 1000 cm in reality.

so,

10 cm in the map = 10×1000 = 10000 cm in reality.

remember,

1 m = 100 cm

10,000 cm = 100 m
