Given:
The distance between the two buildings on a map = 14 cm
The scale is 1:35000.
To find:
The actual distance in km.
Solution:
The scale is 1:35000.
It means 1 cm on map = 35000 cm in actual.
Using this conversion, we get
14 cm on map =
cm in actual.
=
cm in actual.
=
cm in actual.
=
km in actual.
![[1\text{ km}=100000\text{ cm}]](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/college/gxynv40cru390fjntblfkklyxuj92qm5ol.png)
Therefore, the actual distance between two buildings is 4.9 km.
