The actual distance between two trainsstations is 20km.what will be the distance on a map if the scale of the map is 1: 50 000? Type answer in the space provided._cm
Repeating the post, still lacking data, will not get you any better responses.
To find the distance on the map, we need to use the scale provided. The scale 1:50,000 means that 1 unit on the map represents 50,000 units in real life.
Given that the actual distance between the train stations is 20 km, we can calculate the distance on the map by multiplying the actual distance by the scale factor:
Distance on map = Actual distance x Scale factor
Distance on map = 20 km x 50,000
Calculating this, we get:
Distance on map = 1,000,000 km
However, you mentioned that the answer should be in centimeters (cm), so we need to convert the answer from kilometers to centimeters.
1 kilometer = 100,000 centimeters
Distance on map (in cm) = 1,000,000 km x 100,000 cm/km
Calculating this, we get:
Distance on map (in cm) = 100,000,000,000 cm
Therefore, the distance on the map would be 100,000,000,000 cm.
To find the distance on the map, we need to determine the scale factor by dividing the actual distance by the scale on the map.
Scale factor = Actual distance / Map scale
Scale factor = 20 km / 1:50,000
Now, convert the kilometers to centimeters to match the units of the map scale.
1 kilometer = 100,000 centimeters
20 km = 20 * 100,000 cm = 2,000,000 cm
Map scale factor = 2,000,000 cm / 50,000 = 40 cm
Therefore, the distance on the map would be 40 cm.
