A MAP HAS A SCALE OF 1 CM = 5 KM
On a map, a forest is shown as a rectangle measuring 2 cm by 1.5 cm
what is the real area of the forest
just replace each value with its scaled equivalent.
(2cm)(1.5cm) --> (2*5km)(1.5*5km)
= (10km)(7.5km)
= 75 km^2
6777777786876587576585
1cm=5km
5km=500000cm
Real length=500000×2
=1000000cm
Real width=500000×1.5
=750000
Hence real area=A×B
=7.5×10^11
To find the real area of the forest, we need to use the scale provided on the map. The scale states that 1 cm on the map represents 5 km in real life.
First, we determine the length and width of the forest in real life by converting the measurements on the map using the scale.
Length in real life = 2 cm x 5 km/cm = 10 km
Width in real life = 1.5 cm x 5 km/cm = 7.5 km
Next, we calculate the area of the forest by multiplying the length and width in real life.
Area = Length x Width = 10 km x 7.5 km = 75 km²
Therefore, the real area of the forest is 75 square kilometers.
2 cm = 10 km
1.5 cm = 7.5 km
10 * 7.5 = _______ sq km
