Using a map scale 1cm to 100,000(1km) give the real distance on the ground of a road measuring

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To find the real distance on the ground of a road using a map scale of 1cm to 100,000 (1km), you need to measure the length of the road on the map and then calculate the corresponding real distance using the scale.

Let's assume that the length of the road on the map is 5 centimeters.

First, we need to convert the map scale to a ratio. In this case, 1 centimeter on the map represents 100,000 centimeters (1 kilometer) in real life. So the scale ratio is 1:100,000.

Next, we multiply the length of the road on the map by the ratio to find the real distance:

5 cm (length on the map) x 100,000 (real distance per centimeter on the map) = 500,000 centimeters or 5 kilometers.

Therefore, the real distance on the ground of a road measuring 5 centimeters on the map would be 5 kilometers.
