Em um mapa no qual a escala é de 1:200.000, a distância em linha reta entre duas cidades é de 5 cm. Qual a distância real entre essas cidades?

On a map where the scale is 1: 200,000, the straight-line distance between two cities is 5 cm. What is the real distance between these cities?

10km

Explanation:

A scale compares the actual distance on ground to the map distance in use. They help production of maps to be made easier and interpreted better. Anything can fit on a map with the idea of a scale.

Now the map scale is given as:

            1: 200,000

Map distance is 5cm

The given map scale is read as:

  For every 1 unit on the map, we have 200,000 unit on land:

         1cm on the map is 200000cm on the ground;

         5cm on the map = 5 x 200000 = 1000000cm on ground.

The real distance between the cities is 1000000cm;

      This is equal to 10km on ground
