Answer 1

1,2km

Step-by-step explanation: Map key shows that 1cm on the map is 10000cm in real life. 12cm x 10000 = 120000cm. There are 100000cm in 1km, so 120000cm in km is 1,2km. Calculation: 120000/100000 = 1,2

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

1.2 km

Explanation:

You want to know the distance on the ground if it is 12 cm on a map with scale 1:10,000.

Scale factor

The map scale is ...

map distance / distance on ground = 1 : 10000 = 12 cm : 120000 cm

Unit conversion

The 1 cm corresponds to 10^-5 km, so the ground distance is ...

120000 cm × 10^-5 km/cm = 1.2 km

The actual path is 1.2 km long.
