this one is working from the map scale 1:2000 find the actual area in square meters,

a) 5 cm squared

1 answer

1 cm on your map would be 2000 cm or 20 m in the real world
so 5 cm on the map would be 100 m

then 5 cm squared, (a square 5 cm by 5 cm) on your map would be an area of
100m by 100m or 10 000 square metres.
