Question 99 (ii)

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 College and Complex

Answer 1

Given scale 1 cm : 10 km, i.e. 1 cm in a picture = 10 km of actual distance
Distance between the college and complex in the picture = 2 cm
Hence, the actual distance between the college and complex $=2\times 10=20$ km
