On a topographical map drawn to a scale of $1 : 40,000$ , the measured length of a railway line is $17.5\text{ cm}$ . If the map is enlarged so that a statement scale of $1\text{ cm to } 250\text{ m}$ applies, what is the length of the railway line on the new enlarged map, in centimeters?

Cevap: 28 cm

Cevap

The length of the railway line on the enlarged map is

28\text{ cm}

To find the distance on the enlarged map, first calculate the actual ground distance by multiplying the original map distance (

17.5\text{ cm}

) by the scale denominator (

40,000

), yielding

700,000\text{ cm}

7,000\text{ m}

. Next, divide this ground distance by the ground distance represented per centimeter on the new map (

250\text{ m}

), which yields

28\text{ cm}

Adım Adım Çözüm

Calculate the actual ground distance using the original map scale and measured distance.

Ground distance =

17.5\text{ cm} \times 40,000 = 700,000\text{ cm} = 7,000\text{ m}

Multiplying the map distance by the scale factor gives the true ground distance.

Calculate the corresponding distance on the enlarged map using the new statement scale.

New map distance =

\frac{7,000\text{ m}}{250\text{ m/cm}} = 28\text{ cm}

Dividing the total ground distance by the ground distance represented per centimeter on the new map yields the map measurement.
