If a scale of a map is 2cm to 1km,what is the map distance if the distance between two town is 20cm
To find the map distance, you need to use the scale provided on the map. In this case, the scale is 2cm to 1km.
First, determine the ratio of centimeters to kilometers. Since the scale is 2cm to 1km, we can say that 2cm represents 1km.
Next, calculate the actual distance represented by each centimeter on the map. Since 2cm represents 1km, we can say that 1cm represents 0.5km.
Finally, use this conversion to calculate the map distance for a given distance. In this case, you stated that the distance between two towns is 20cm. By using the scale, we can find that the map distance for a 20cm actual distance is:
20cm * 0.5km/cm = 10km
Therefore, the map distance between the two towns is 10km.
