Question

Два пункта отделены друг от друга на 30 км. На карте это расстояние равно 6 см. Каков масштаб карты ?

Answer 1

30 км =3 000 000 см
3 000 000:6=500000
Значит,масштаб карты 1 :500 000

Answer 2

Calculation of Map Scale

To determine the scale of the map, we need to compare the actual distance between the two points with the distance represented on the map.

Given that the two points are separated by a distance of 30 km and this distance is represented as 6 cm on the map, we can calculate the map scale as follows:

Map Scale = Actual Distance / Map Distance

In this case, the actual distance is 30 km and the map distance is 6 cm. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

Map Scale = 30 km / 6 cm

To simplify the calculation, we need to convert the units to be consistent. Let's convert the actual distance to centimeters:

30 km = 30,000 meters = 3,000,000 centimeters

Now we can calculate the map scale:

Map Scale = 3,000,000 cm / 6 cm

Simplifying this expression, we find that the map scale is:

Map Scale = 500,000

Therefore, the scale of the map is 1:500,000. This means that one unit of measurement on the map represents 500,000 units of measurement in the real world.

Please note that the calculation assumes a linear relationship between distance and scale, which may not always be the case for all maps. Additionally, the accuracy of the map scale calculation depends on the accuracy of the provided information.
