On the map of scale 1:20,000 the area of a forest is 50 cm square .On another map of area of the forest is 8 cm square .Find the scale of the second map.
First find the original area of the forest .
if 1 cm^2 represnts 20,000
then 50 cm^2 represents: 50*20,000 =100,0000 cm square

now on the other map 8 cm square represents the forest.write down the ratio ,then simplify:
8:100,0000
1:125000
And thats the answer.:)

Hi, this might seem a little childish cuz of it's hw easy it is
But I've just tried all sorts of methods for it, just wont work(It might be just me not understanding the method(s) myself, which I thought are a peice of cake for me)
This question is from Myimaths.com and my teacher told me to use the cross multiplication method. I've been stuck on it for abt a week now.
Any help plz would be appreciated.

Here is the question:

You can use the simultaneous equations method :
Place 1 and 2 in the equation an^3+ bn^2+ n to get the total number of lines used in each diagram the answer is
1)8a +4b +2=12
2)a+b+1=3
Now you have two formulas !!
I've checked with marked scheme also :p
