An irrigation canal measures 12cm. in a NAMRIA Map Sheet of 1:50000 scale. Determine the ground distance. Click to Show/Hide Solution \[ MS = \frac{MD}{GD} \] \[ \frac{1}{50000} = \frac{12cm.}{GD} \] \[ GD = 600000cm. [\frac{1m.}{100cm.} (\frac{1km.}{1000m.})] \] \[ MD = 6km. \leftarrow \text{answer} \]
