Triangulation method is used to determine the distance between two places A and C. A triangle obtained to a reduced scale is as shown below The ratio of the actual distances from C to another place B: and A to B is 5. Determine the distance between A and C. The actual distance between B and C is 20 km.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The distance between the place A and B to reduced scale=5 cm.
`(BC)/(AB)=5`
`(20)/(5x)=5`
`(20)/(25)=4/5`
Distance between A and C `=4/5 xx 10=8 km`
