A map is drawn on a scale of 1: 240 000.
(i) Actual area [tex]$=21.888 \mathrm{~km}^{2}$[/tex]
(ii) Area on the map = [tex]$0.505 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$[/tex].
How to estimate the area on the map?
(i) 1 cm: 240000 cm = 1 cm: 2.4km
Area scale [tex]$=1^{2} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}: 2.4^{2} \mathrm{~km}^{2}$[/tex]
[tex]$=1 \mathrm{cm}^{2}: 5.76 \mathrm{~km}^{2}$[/tex]
[tex]$1 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}: 5.76 \mathrm{~km}^{2}$[/tex]
[tex]$3.8 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}: 21.888 \mathrm{~km}^{2}$[/tex]
Actual area [tex]$=21.888 \mathrm{~km}^{2}$[/tex]
[tex]$=21.9 \mathrm{~km}^{2}[/tex]
(ii) 1 cm: 240000 cm = 1 cm: 2400 m
Area scale [tex]$=1^{2} \mathrm{~cm}^{2}: 2400^{2} \mathrm{~m}^{2}$[/tex]
[tex]$=1 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}: 5760000 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$[/tex]
[tex]$1cm}^{2}: 5760000 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$[/tex]
[tex]$0.505 \mathrm{~cm}^{2} ; 2108800 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$[/tex]
The area on the map = [tex]$0.505 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$[/tex].
