Answer:
The scale used is 1 : 12500. And the scale is in centimetres
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
state park are 1000 meters from each other.
On a map,the two fields are 8 centimetres apart
To Find:
The scale used by the map = ?
Is it the metric scale?
Solution:
Actual distance between the parks is 1000 meters. But in map the distance is 8 centimetres
so the scale for map to actual distance is
8 cm : 1000 m
Now,
1 m = 100 m
So
1000 m = 100000 cm
Thus
8 cm : 100000 cm
On Reducing we get,
1 : 12500
