Answer:

The scale used is 1: 10,000 cm.

Explanation:

Given that the length of a pool 2 km long is represented on a map with a length of 20cm, to determine what is the map scale used the following calculation must be performed:

2 km = 2,000 m

1m = 100cm

2,000 x 100 = 200,000

20: 200,000

10: 100,000

1: 10,000

Thus, the scale used is 1: 10,000 cm.
