1. The area of a rectangular field is 52000 sq. meters. This rectangular area has been drawn on a map to the scale 1 cm to 100 m. The length is shown as 3.25 cm on the map. The breadth of the rectangular field in the map is -
- A. 1.6 m
- B. 1.6 m
- C. 1.6 m
- D. 1.6 m
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
The scale of the map is 1 cm to 100 m. This means that 1 cm on the map represents 100 meters in reality.
Given that the length on the map is 3.25 cm, you can find the actual length by multiplying it by the scale factor:
Actual length = Length on map × Scale factor = 3.25 cm × 100 m/cm = 325 m
Now, you mentioned that the area of the rectangular field is 52000 square meters. The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:
Area=Length×Breadth
We know the area is 52000 square meters and the length is 325 meters. Substituting these values into the formula, we can find the breadth:
52000m2=325m×Breadth
Breadth=325m52000m2
Breadth=160m
