Use a ruler to measure the distance in cm between the places joined by dotted lines. If the map has been drawn using the scale 1 cm : 10 km, find the actual distances between

(1) School and Library


(2) College and Complex


(3) House and School



Given scale is 1cm:10km i.e.1cm in a picture = 10km of actual distance

(a)The distance between the school and library in the picture = 6cm


Hence, the actual distance between the school and library =


(b)Distance between the college and complex in the picture = 2cm.


Actual distance between the college and complex


(c)Distance between the school and house in the picture = 3.5c.m = 3.5*10 = 35km
