Question

What is the actual length and breadth of the park if the scale used here is 1 cm : 100 m?

• A. 500 m, 4 km
• B. 5 km, 400 m
• C. 500 m, 400 m
• D. 5 km, 4 km

Answer 1

The correct option is C 500 m, 400 m

Length of the park in the map = 5 cm
Breadth of the park in the map = 4 cm

Since we are using a scale of 1 cm : 100 m,
5 cm will be 5 $\times$ 100 = 500 m and 4 cm wil be 4 $\times$ 100 = 400 m.

=> Actual length of the park = 500 m
Actual breadth of the park = 400 m.
