A topographic map has a representative fraction (RF) scale of 1:50,000. If the distance between two points on the map measures 8 cm, what is the actual ground distance in kilometers?
The RF scale of 1:50,000 means that 1 cm on the map represents 50,000 cm in reality.
Convert the map distance to real-world distance:
8 cm×50,000=400,000 cm
2. Convert to km 400,000 cm÷100,000=4 km
Thus, the actual ground distance is 4 kilometers.
