On a map with a scale of 1cm. = 3m., the distance between pt. 1 and pt. 2 is 9.74cm. What is the corresponding map distance if a scale of 1:2000 is used? Click to Show/Hide Solution \[ MS = \frac{MD}{GD} \] \[ \frac{1cm.}{3m.} = \frac{9.74cm.}{GD} \] \[ GD = 29.22m. \] \[ MS_1 = \frac{MD_1}{GD} \] \[ \frac{1}{2000} = \frac{MD_1}{29.22m.} \] \[ MD_1 = 0.01461m. (\frac{100cm.}{1m.}) \] \[ MD_1 = 1.461cm. \leftarrow \text{answer} \]
