The distance on map exists 32 cm and actual area exists 37.5 km².
How to estimate the actual area of the forest in square kilometers?
Given: Scale of the map exists at 1:250000.
(a) Distance between two cities = 80 km
= 80000 m
= 8000000 cm
Distance on map = 8000000 [tex]*[/tex] 1/ 250000
= 32 cm
(b) Area of map = 6 cm²
Actual area = [tex]6(250000)^2[/tex] cm²
[tex]= 6 * 625 * 10^8[/tex] cm²
[tex]= 3750 * 10^8/ 10^{10}[/tex]
= 37.5 km²
Therefore, the distance on map exists 32 cm and actual area exists 37.5 km².
