Answer» Answer : 588 km Step-by-step EXPLANATION: A certain cartographer TOOK 9cm to represent a actual distance of 252km 252 km = 252 × 10^5 cm therefore , 9 cm = 252 × 10^5 cm therefore distance indicated by 1cm 1 cm = 252×10^5 9 1cm = 28×10^5 If on the same map the distance between two cities is 21 cm , then the actual distance between them is, 21 cm = (28×10^5 ) × 21 cm =(28×21) × 10^5 cm = 588 × 10^5 cm therefore , 21 cm = 588×10^5 to convert the actual distance into 'km ' 21 cm = 588×10^5 1,00,000 21 cm = 588 km therefore the actual distance between the two cities is 588 km PLEASE MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST !!!!!! |
