The scale on a map is 1 :50000.

The area of a field on the map

is 1.2square centimetres.

Calculate the actual area of the field in square kilometres.

Answer:

The actual area of the field in square kilometers is [tex]30000000 km^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale : 1 cm = 50000 km

Area of field on map = [tex]1.2 cm^2[/tex]

Now , 1 cm = 5000 km

[tex]1 cm^2 = (5000 km)^2[/tex]

We are supposed to find the actual area of the field in square kilometers.

So, the actual area of the field in sq. km =[tex]1.2 \times (5000)^2[/tex]

Actual area of the field in sq. km [tex]=30000000 km^2[/tex]

Hence the actual area of the field in square kilometers is [tex]30000000 km^2[/tex]
