Paper 3, 1(a): Study the map extract provided on a scale of 1:50,000. In your answer booklet, draw a new outline of the section labelled QRST to a scale of 1:25,000.
Model answer
New outline length = original length × (50,000/25,000) = original length × 2. If QRST measures about 6 cm (±0.2 cm) on the original (i.e. 5.8-6.2 cm), the new outline should measure about 12 cm (11.6-12.4 cm).
