In this exercise we have to scale a map so for that it will be necessary to observe the map to calculate the real size of antarica, like:

Between 12,000,000 square kilometers and 18,000,000 square kilometers

How to scale the map?

In the case of the exemplified scale (1: 300 000), 1 cm on the map represents 300 000 cm on the ground, or 3 km. It is therefore the numerical representation of the same graphic scale presented above. The scale (E) of a map is the relationship between the distance on the map (d) and the actual distance (D).

With this information given we can now write that the map of antartica will be:

  • We can draw a rectangle or a circle on the map to calculate the value of the area, in this way it would be similar to making the area of ​​these figures.

[tex]A=\pi r^2\\A=\pi (200)^2= 12.000.000 km[/tex]
