If the scale of a map is 1:10,000 and the distance on the map is 20cm, calculate the actual distance on the ground

Answer 1

Don't know what units you are using. Assuming cm and miles:

20 * 10,000 = ? miles

Answer 2

the answer is 2km

Answer 3

Please are u a mathematician, how did u get the 2cm

Answer 4

I want to see and know how you got your answer

Answer 5

Please the workings

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

If the scale of a map is 1:10000cm and the distance on the map is 20cm then the actual distance on the ground is what

Answer 9

2km

Answer 10

Kindly show the procedure used in getting your obtained answer

Answer 11

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.
