The scale of map is 1:20000. Find the area on the map which represents 124km^2
would someone please solve this
123:45
To find the area on the map that represents 124km², we need to convert the area from square kilometers to the corresponding area on the map that is scaled by 1:20000.
First, let's determine the conversion factor:
Conversion factor = (Map Scale Denominator)^2
In this case, the conversion factor is (1/20000)^2 = 1/400000000.
Next, multiply the area you want to represent on the map (124km²) by the conversion factor:
Map Area = 124km² × (1/400000000)
Simplifying the calculation,
Map Area = 0.00000031 km²
Thus, the area on the map that represents 124km² is approximately 0.00000031 km².
