the map figure has area
a = (5+2)/2 * 4 = 14 cm^2
The area is 14 * 500^2 cm^2
Now just convert that to m^2
A piece of land in the shape of a trapezium is drawn on a map using the scale 1:500. The parallel sides are 5 cm and 2 cm, while the perpendicular distance between parallel sides is 4 cm. what is the actual area of the plot in square meter?

35m^2
First, we need to convert the area from cm^2 to m^2.
1 cm^2 = (1/100)^2 m^2
1 cm^2 = 0.0001 m^2
So, the area of the plot in m^2 would be:
A = 14 * 500^2 * 0.0001 m^2
A = 3.5 m^2
Therefore, the actual area of the plot is 3.5 square meters.
1 cm^2 = (1/100)^2 m^2
1 cm^2 = 0.0001 m^2
So, the area of the plot in m^2 would be:
A = 14 * 500^2 * 0.0001 m^2
A = 3.5 m^2
Therefore, the actual area of the plot is 3.5 square meters.
