Here are the solutions to the questions:

Part 2.1· 2 steps

  1. Locate South Africa and Zimbabwe on the map.

  2. Identify the river that forms the border between these two countries.

    The river on the border line of South Africa and Zimbabwe is the Limpopo River\boxed{\mathbf{Limpopo \text{ River}}}.

Part 2.2

0%\mathbf{0\%}

  1. Locate the Zambezi River, Botswana, and Namibia on the map.

  2. Observe the borders formed by the Zambezi River.

    The Zambezi River forms a border between Namibia and Zambia, and between Botswana and Zambia. It does not form a direct border between Botswana and Namibia.

  3. Determine the probability.

    Since the Zambezi River does not form a border between Botswana and Namibia, the probability is 0%0\%.
    The probability is 0%\boxed{\mathbf{0\%}}.

Part 2.3

North−West\mathbf{North-West}

  1. Locate Victoria Falls on the map (north-west of Zimbabwe, near Namibia and Zambia).

  2. Locate Kruger National Park on the map (south-east of Zimbabwe, in South Africa).

  3. Determine the compass direction from Kruger National Park to Victoria Falls.

    Victoria Falls is to the north-west of Kruger National Park.
    The compass direction is North−West\boxed{\mathbf{North-West}}.

Part 2.4

VALID\mathbf{VALID}

  1. Understand the claimed scale.

    The claimed scale is 1:50000001 : 5 000 000. This means 1 unit1 \text{ unit} on the map represents 5000000 units5 000 000 \text{ units} in reality.

  2. Convert the real-world distance from the claimed scale to a more practical unit.

    1 cm1 \text{ cm} on the map represents 5000000 cm5 000 000 \text{ cm} in reality.
    Convert 5000000 cm5 000 000 \text{ cm} to kilometers:

    5000000 cm=5000000×1100 m=50000 m5 000 000 \text{ cm} = 5 000 000 \times \frac{1}{100} \text{ m} = 50 000 \text{ m} 50000 m=50000×11000 km=50 km50 000 \text{ m} = 50 000 \times \frac{1}{1000} \text{ km} = 50 \text{ km}

    So, according to the claimed scale, 1 cm1 \text{ cm} on the map represents 50 km50 \text{ km} in reality.

  3. Calculate the expected map length for 125 km125 \text{ km} using the claimed scale.

    If 1 cm1 \text{ cm} represents 50 km50 \text{ km}, then 125 km125 \text{ km} would be represented by:

    Map length=125 km50kmcm=2.5 cm\text{Map length} = \frac{125 \text{ km}}{50 \frac{\text{km}}{\text{cm}}} = 2.5 \text{ cm}
  4. Compare this calculated length with the actual length of the 125 km125 \text{ km} bar scale on the map.

    By visually inspecting the map, the bar scale segment labeled "125 km125 \text{ km}" measures approximately 2.5 cm2.5 \text{ cm}.

  5. Conclude whether the claim is valid.

    Since the calculated map length for 125 km125 \text{ km} (2.5 cm2.5 \text{ cm}) matches the visual length of the 125 km125 \text{ km} bar scale on the map, the claim is VALID\boxed{\mathbf{VALID}}.
