Step-by-step solution

11 steps

4.1.1

  1. Understand the scale.

    A scale of $1:200$ means that 1 cm on the map represents 200 cm in real life.

  2. Calculate the real-life measurement.

    Real-life measurement=Map measurement×Scale factor\text{Real-life measurement} = \text{Map measurement} \times \text{Scale factor} Real-life measurement=8.2 cm×200\text{Real-life measurement} = 8.2 \text{ cm} \times 200 Real-life measurement=1640 cm\text{Real-life measurement} = 1640 \text{ cm}

    The real-life measurement is 1640 cm\boxed{\text{1640 cm}}.

    4.1.2

  3. Calculate the real-life measurement in cm.

    Real-life measurement in cm=Map measurement×Scale factor\text{Real-life measurement in cm} = \text{Map measurement} \times \text{Scale factor} Real-life measurement in cm=15 cm×200\text{Real-life measurement in cm} = 15 \text{ cm} \times 200 Real-life measurement in cm=3000 cm\text{Real-life measurement in cm} = 3000 \text{ cm}
  4. Convert the real-life measurement from cm to m.

    (1 m=100 cm1 \text{ m} = 100 \text{ cm})

    Real-life measurement in m=3000 cm100 cm/m\text{Real-life measurement in m} = \frac{3000 \text{ cm}}{100 \text{ cm/m}} Real-life measurement in m=30 m\text{Real-life measurement in m} = 30 \text{ m}

    The real-life measurement is 30 m\boxed{\text{30 m}}.

    4.1.3

  5. Calculate the measurement on the map.

    Map measurement=Real-life measurementScale factor\text{Map measurement} = \frac{\text{Real-life measurement}}{\text{Scale factor}} Map measurement=1400 cm200\text{Map measurement} = \frac{1400 \text{ cm}}{200} Map measurement=7 cm\text{Map measurement} = 7 \text{ cm}

    The measurement on the map is 7 cm\boxed{\text{7 cm}}.

    4.2.1
    A scale of "1:50 0001:50 \ 000" means that one unit of distance on the map represents 50 00050 \ 000 of the same units of distance in real life. For example, 1 cm on the map represents 50 00050 \ 000 cm in real life.

    4.2.2

  6. Convert km to m.

    (1 km=1000 m1 \text{ km} = 1000 \text{ m})

    4 km=4×1000 m=4000 m4 \text{ km} = 4 \times 1000 \text{ m} = 4000 \text{ m}
  7. Convert m to cm.

    (1 m=100 cm1 \text{ m} = 100 \text{ cm})

    4000 m=4000×100 cm=400 000 cm4000 \text{ m} = 4000 \times 100 \text{ cm} = 400 \ 000 \text{ cm}

    4 km is equal to 400 000 cm\boxed{\text{400 000 cm}}.

    4.2.3

  8. Use the real-life distance from question 4.2.2, which is 400 000400 \ 000 cm.

  9. Calculate the distance on the topographical map using the scale 1:50 0001:50 \ 000.

    Map distance=Real-life distanceScale factor\text{Map distance} = \frac{\text{Real-life distance}}{\text{Scale factor}} Map distance=400 000 cm50 000\text{Map distance} = \frac{400 \ 000 \text{ cm}}{50 \ 000} Map distance=8 cm\text{Map distance} = 8 \text{ cm}

    The distance on the topographical map will be 8 cm\boxed{\text{8 cm}}.

    4.2.4

  10. Calculate the real-life measurement in cm using the scale 1:50 0001:50 \ 000.

    Real-life measurement in cm=Map measurement×Scale factor\text{Real-life measurement in cm} = \text{Map measurement} \times \text{Scale factor} Real-life measurement in cm=17 cm×50 000\text{Real-life measurement in cm} = 17 \text{ cm} \times 50 \ 000 Real-life measurement in cm=850 000 cm\text{Real-life measurement in cm} = 850 \ 000 \text{ cm}
  11. Convert the real-life measurement from cm to km.

    (1 km=100 000 cm1 \text{ km} = 100 \ 000 \text{ cm})

    Real-life measurement in km=850 000 cm100 000 cm/km\text{Real-life measurement in km} = \frac{850 \ 000 \text{ cm}}{100 \ 000 \text{ cm/km}} Real-life measurement in km=8.5 km\text{Real-life measurement in km} = 8.5 \text{ km}

    A measurement of 17 cm on the map will be equal to 8.5 km\boxed{\text{8.5 km}} in real life.
