The scale on a map is 1 mm : 4 m. Find the distance on the map for an actual distance of 52 m.

Solution:

Given, the scale on a map is 1 mm : 4 m

We have to find the distance on the map for an actual distance of 52 m.

We know, Scale of map = size drawn/actual size

Given, distance on map for an actual distance of 4 m = 1 mm

Distance on map for an actual distance of 1 m = 1/4 mm

Distance on map for an actual distance of 52 m = 1/4 × 52

= 52/4

= 13 mm.

Therefore, the actual distance on the map is 13 mm.
