A site in a map drawn to scale of 1 : 16000 measures 75 sqcm. The actual area of the site in hectares is
-
- 120
- 162
- 192
- 256
Correct Option: C
Scale of the map is 1 :16,000
if it's 1 cm, then real life would be 16000 cm.
1cm × 1 cm = 1 cm2 on the map.
16,000 cm * 16,000 cm = 256,000,000 cm2 in real life.
This means that a farm with an area of 75 cm2 on the map would be equivalent to a site with an area of 75*2,56,000,000 cm2 in real life which would be equal to 19200,000,000 cm2 = 192 hectare.
