What is the actual distance represented by the following scale distance if the scale is 1 centimeter 1 kilometer?
If the scale is 1 centimeter to 1 kilometer, then the actual distance represented by the scale distance would be 1 kilometer for every 1 centimeter on the map. This means that if you measure a distance of, say, 5 centimeters on the map using this scale, the actual distance in real life would be 5 kilometers.
