Question

For the given map, the scale will be 1 unit =

• A. 2 miles
• B. 3 miles
• C. 5 miles
• D. 10 miles

Answer 1

The correct option is B 3 miles


In the given map, the two points denoted are (10, 3) and (20, 6).
But the distance between the two points is denoted as 30 miles.

So, we have 10 units = 30 miles on the map.

$\therefore 1unit=30miles÷10=3miles$

So, the scale of the map is, 1 unit = 3 miles
