2 cm = 10 km
1.5 cm = 7.5 km
10 * 7.5 = _______ sq km
A MAP HAS A SCALE OF 1 CM = 5 KM
On a map, a forest is shown as a rectangle measuring 2 cm by 1.5 cm
what is the real area of the forest
4 answers
just replace each value with its scaled equivalent.
(2cm)(1.5cm) --> (2*5km)(1.5*5km)
= (10km)(7.5km)
= 75 km^2
(2cm)(1.5cm) --> (2*5km)(1.5*5km)
= (10km)(7.5km)
= 75 km^2

1cm=5km
5km=500000cm
Real length=500000×2
=1000000cm
Real width=500000×1.5
=750000
Hence real area=A×B
=7.5×10^11
5km=500000cm
Real length=500000×2
=1000000cm
Real width=500000×1.5
=750000
Hence real area=A×B
=7.5×10^11
