Question

Can you help me with this question please

Answer 1

The length is 250 meters

Explanation:

If we look at the left corner of the diagram we see a scale. According to the scale factor of the map

1 cm :1000 cm

The length of the lap on the map is 25 cm

So (25 × 1000) = 25000 cm

Since

1 meter = 100 centimeter

So the actual length of the lap = 25000 ÷ 100 = 250 meters

Answer 2

The actual length of the lap = 250 meters

Explanation:

∵ The scale factor of the map is 1:1000

∵ The length of the lap on the map is 25 cm

∴
`(1)/(1000)=(25)/(x)`

Where x is the actual length of a lap

∴ x = (25 × 1000) ÷ 1 = 25000 cm

∵ 1 meter = 100 centimeter

∴ The actual length of the lap = 25000 ÷ 100 = 250 meters
