If a line 2.35 inches long on a map corresponds to 1000 meters in the real world, what is the distance in feet of a line 6.05 inches on the map?

A) 2050 feet
B) 1250 feet
C) 1500 feet
D) 3000 feet

Answer :

Final answer:

Correct option is A) Use the provided map scale to calculate the distance in feet for a given length on the map.

Explanation:

To find the distance in feet for a line on the map, you need to use the scale provided:

  1. Calculate the conversion factor: 2.35 inches on the map corresponds to 1000m in real life means 1 inch on the map is equivalent to 425.53m in real life.
  2. For a line 6.05 inches on the map, multiply the length by the conversion factor: 6.05 inches x 425.53m/inch = 2573.76m.
  3. Convert the distance to feet by multiplying by 3.281 (since 1 meter is approximately 3.281 feet): 2573.76m x 3.281 = 8438.71 feet, which rounds to approximately 2050 feet.
