Step-by-step explanation:

1cm is equal to 10km on ground.

What is map scale?

The ratio between a distance on a map and its actual distance on the ground is known as the map's scale. Since scale must vary across a map due to the curvature of the Earth's surface, this straightforward idea is made more difficult. This change makes the idea of scale significant in two different ways.

Given

A scale of 1:1,000,000 means that anything on the map that is 1 ‘unit’ in length represents something that is one million ‘units’ in length.

So two points 1 cm apart on the map will be one million centimetres apart in real life. Divide a million by 100 if you prefer the distance in metres. And divide that figure by 1,000 if you want it in kilometres.

1,000,000/100*1000 = 10km
