Question

If the map ratio of a map is 1:100000 and the distance between two

places on the map is 8cm, find the actual distance between the two
places.
​

Answer 1

Given that,

Map scale = 1:100000

Map distance = 8cm

Therefore,

MD ÷ AD = 1 ÷ 100000

8 ÷ AD = 1 ÷ 100000

AD = 8 × 100000

AD = 800000
