To find the actual distance represented by 8cm on the map, we can use the scale given: 1:20000.
This means that 1 unit on the map represents 20000 units in real life.
Therefore, 8cm on the map represents:
8cm * 20000 = 160000cm
So, 8cm on the map represents an actual distance of 160000cm.
The scale on a map is 1:20000. What actual distance does a length of 8cm on the map represent?
