A map has a scale of 1:140. Find the length and breadth of the house whose dimensions are 5cmx3.75cm on the map?
- Length: 10m, Breadth: 8.25m
- Length: 9m, Breadth: 7.50m
- Length: 7m, Breadth: 5.25m
- Length: 8m, Breadth: 6.75m
Explanation
To find the actual length and breadth, multiply the map dimensions by the scale factor (140).
Length = 5cm x 140 = 700cm = 7m
Breadth = 3.75cm x 140 = 525cm = 5.25m
