Question 99 (iii)

Use a ruler to measure the distance in cm between the places joined by dotted lines.
If the map has been drawn using the scale, 1 cm : 10 km, find the actual distances between House and School.

Answer 1

Given scale 1 cm : 10 km, i.e. 1 cm in a picture = 10 km of actual distance
Distance between the house and school in the picture = 3.5 cm
Hence, the actual distance the house and school $=3.5\times 10=35$ km
