Answer 1

~ 2 kilometers in length of the actual path ~

Explanation:

Let us plan out our steps, and solve for each:

1. Given the information, let us create a proportionality as such:

1 = 10,000 ⇒ x - centimeters in length of actual path

20 x

2. Now let us cross multiply, and solve through simple algebra for x:

10,000 * 20 = x,

x = 200,000 centimeters of the width of the item in reality

3. The answer demands in km, so let us convert 200,000 cm ⇒ km:

200,000/100,000 = 2 kilometers in length of the actual path
