Given parameters:

Real area = 9000sq yards

Map area = 6sq yards

Unknown:

Scale of the map = ?

Solution:

A scale is the ratio of the map unit to the real world expression. Maps use scales to present the real world in a smaller sample space:

   For this problem;

              6sq yards on map = 9000sq yards on ground

              1sq yards on map = xsq yards on ground

                     6x  = 9000

                         x = [tex]\frac{9000}{6}[/tex]  = 1500sq yards

So,

            1sq yards on map is 1500sq yards on ground
