20km
ব্যাখ্যা
map distance = 20cm, ground distance = Y
map scale = 2cm to 1km
since 2cm ≡ 1km
20cm ≡ Y
2Y = 20km
Y = 20km/2=10km
The ground distance between the two towns is 10km
map scale = 2cm to 1km
since 2cm ≡ 1km
20cm ≡ Y
2Y = 20km
Y = 20km/2=10km
The ground distance between the two towns is 10km
