Don't know what units you are using. Assuming cm and miles:
20 * 10,000 = ? miles
20 * 10,000 = ? miles

How to calculate a scale of a map is 1:0000 two points measured on the map is 20cm what is the actual distance on the ground
Answered by
Christabel
20cm×100000=200000cm
Convert into meters
200000/1000(3 decimal place to the left)=200m
Convert into kilometer
200/100(2 decimal place to the left)=2km
Convert into meters
200000/1000(3 decimal place to the left)=200m
Convert into kilometer
200/100(2 decimal place to the left)=2km

Sure, here's the working:
1. The given scale of the map is 1:10,000cm. This means that 1cm on the map represents 10,000cm on the ground.
2. The distance on the map is given as 20cm.
3. To find the actual distance on the ground, we need to multiply the map distance by the scale.
Therefore,
Actual distance = Map distance x Scale
Actual distance = 20cm x 10,000 = 200,000cm
4. Since the answer is required in kilometers, we convert centimeters to meters by dividing by 100.
200,000 cm / 100 = 2,000 meters
5. Finally, we convert meters to kilometers by dividing by 1000.
2,000 meters / 1000 = 2 kilometers
So, the actual distance on the ground is 2 kilometers.
1. The given scale of the map is 1:10,000cm. This means that 1cm on the map represents 10,000cm on the ground.
2. The distance on the map is given as 20cm.
3. To find the actual distance on the ground, we need to multiply the map distance by the scale.
Therefore,
Actual distance = Map distance x Scale
Actual distance = 20cm x 10,000 = 200,000cm
4. Since the answer is required in kilometers, we convert centimeters to meters by dividing by 100.
200,000 cm / 100 = 2,000 meters
5. Finally, we convert meters to kilometers by dividing by 1000.
2,000 meters / 1000 = 2 kilometers
So, the actual distance on the ground is 2 kilometers.
