a street map has a scale of 1: 25000
Two streets 7cm apart on the map
7*25000 cm
To find the actual distance between two streets on a map with a given scale, you can use a simple formula:
Actual distance = Map distance / Scale
In this case, the scale is 1:25000, which means that 1 cm on the map represents 25000 cm in real life. So, if two streets are 7 cm apart on the map, we can calculate the actual distance between them as follows:
Actual distance = 7 cm / 25000
Simplifying the equation, we have:
Actual distance = 0.00028 km or 0.28 meters
Therefore, the two streets are approximately 0.28 meters apart in real life.
