Assume that the map given below shows the location of your locality where your own house is marked with a star. Look at the map and answer the following question. How far is your school from your home?

Given map, Given that the scale of map is 1 c m = 1 k m . We know that the distance between two points is the length of a straight line segment that connects them. We need to find the distance between school and home, The distance between school from home is 4 . 5 c m . Hence, the required answer is obtained.

Assume that the map given below shows the location of your locality where your own house is marked with a star. Look at the map and answer the following question. Which two places are equidistant from your home?

Given map, Given that the scale of map is 1 c m = 1 k m . We know that the distance between two points is the length of a straight line segment that connects them. We need to find the equal distance between two place and home, The distance between home and hospital is 2 . 5 c m and the distance between home and market is 2 . 5 c m , Therefore, the two places that are equidistance from home are hospital and market. Hence, the required answer is obtained.

Assume that the map given below shows the location of your locality where your own house is marked with a star. Look at the map and answer the following question. Which place is closer to your home-mall or market?

Given map, Given that the scale of map is 1 c m = 1 k m . We know that the distance between two points is the length of a straight line segment that connects them. We need to find the closest distance between two place that is mall, market and home, The distance between home and mall is 3 . 5 c m and the distance between home and market is 2 . 5 c m , Therefore, the closest distance from home is market. Hence, the required answer is obtained.

Assume that the map given below shows the location of your locality where your own house is marked with a star. Look at the map and answer the following question. What is the shortest distance between your school and the college?

Given map, Given that the scale of map is 1 c m = 1 k m . We know that the distance between two points is the length of a straight line segment that connects them. We need to find the closest distance between school and college. The closest distance between school and college is 4 . 5 c m + 0 . 25 c m + 3 . 75 c m = 8 . 5 c m Therefore, the closest distance from school and college is 8 . 5 c m Hence, the required answer is obtained.
