A map has a scale of 1:2500 and on it is a square plot of land which has an area of 4cm squared.calculate the actual area in hactares of land?
If a map has a scale of 1: 2500, what is the actual area of a piece of rectangular land of 350〖 cm〗^2 on the map?
the area scales as the square of the linear scale factor. So the actual area is
4(2500)^2 cm^2 * 1hectare/10^8cm^2 = 1/4 hectare
A circular piece of land has an area 3.14 hectares, is drawn with scale 1:500. Calculate its radius on the map.
To calculate the actual area of land in hectares, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Determine the area of the plot on the map.
Since the area on the map is given as 4cm², we can directly use this value.
Step 2: Convert the map scale to real-world units.
The map scale is given as 1:2500. This means that 1 cm on the map represents 2500 cm (or 25 meters) in reality.
Step 3: Convert the area on the map to real-world units.
Since the area on the map is given in square centimeters (cm²), we need to convert it to square meters (m²) to match the real-world units.
To convert square centimeters to square meters, we divide by 10,000 (since there are 10,000 square centimeters in a square meter).
So, the area of the plot on the map in square meters is:
Area (m²) = 4 cm² / 10,000 = 0.0004 m²
Step 4: Convert the area in square meters to hectares.
Since there are 10,000 square meters in a hectare, we divide the area in square meters by 10,000.
So, the area of the plot on the map in hectares is:
Area (ha) = 0.0004 m² / 10,000 = 0.00004 hectares
Therefore, the actual area of the land is 0.00004 hectares.
