The scale of map is 1:20000. Find the area on the map which represents 124km^2
To find the area on the map that represents 124 km², we need to first convert the given area into the corresponding area on the map using the scale provided.
The scale of the map is 1:20000, which means that 1 unit on the map represents 20000 units in real life. In this case, the units are in terms of area.
First, let's convert the given area of 124 km² into the corresponding area on the map.
1 km² is equal to 1,000,000 square meters. Therefore, 124 km² is equal to 124,000,000 square meters.
To find the area on the map, you need to divide the real-life area by the scale factor:
Area on map = (Area in real life) / (Scale factor)
Area on map = 124,000,000 square meters / 20000
Area on map = 6200 square meters
Therefore, 124 km² on the map will be represented by an area of 6200 square meters.
To find the area on the map that represents 124 km², we need to use the scale of the map. The scale given is 1:20000, which means that 1 unit on the map represents 20000 units in actual distance.
First, we need to convert the 124 km² into the corresponding area on the map using the scale. Since the scale is in square units (km²), we can directly use it for the conversion.
Area on the map = 124 km² × (20000 km²/1 km²)
Area on the map = 2480000 km²
Therefore, the area on the map that represents 124 km² is 2480000 km².
area on map
= actual area / scale^2
= 124 km^2 / 20000^2
= 124 (1000m)^2 / (20,000)^2
= 124 / 400 m^2
=0.31 m^2
