Scale is 1cm is equal to 200km. What is the distance on the ground between two places that are 7cm apart on the map?
To find the distance on the ground between two places that are 7cm apart on the map, we can use the given scale.
Given: 1cm = 200km
So, for 7cm on the map, the distance on the ground can be found by multiplying 7cm by the scale factor of 200km per 1cm.
Distance on the ground = 7cm * (200km/1cm)
= 7cm * 200km
= 1400km
Therefore, the distance on the ground between the two places that are 7cm apart on the map is 1400km.
