Answer:
1:36,056,338
Explanation:
First thing we do is convert the diameter of the earth from kilometers into centimeters. Thus, we have
12800 km = 12800 * 100000 cm
12800 km = 1280000000 cm
Then we have diameter of the globe to be 35.5 cm.
To get the scale, what we do is divide the diameter of the earth by that of the globe, and as such we have
1280000000 / 35.5 =
36056338.
Therefore, the scale of the globe is 1:36,056,338
For every 1 cm on the globe, it is 36,056,338 cm or 360.6 km on earth
The scale of this globe is equal to 1 : 36,056,338.
Given the following data:
- Earth diameter = 12,800 km
- Globe diameter = 35.5 cm
In Science, a scale can be defined as a ratio of the distance on a map to the actual (corresponding) distance on planet Earth.
A globe refers to a scale model of planet Earth that accurately depicts various geographic information such as distance, circumference, area, etc.
To determine the scale of this globe:
First of all, we would convert the value of Earth diameter in kilometers to centimeters as follow:
Conversion:
1 kilometer = 100,000 centimeter
12,800 kilometer = [tex]12800 \times 10^5 = 128 \times 10^7\;centimeters[/tex]
Now, we can calculate the scale of the globe by using this formula:
[tex]Distance = \frac{Earth\;diameter}{Globe\;diameter}[/tex]
Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;
[tex]Distance = \frac{128 \times 10^7}{35.5}[/tex]
Distance = 36,056,338.03 ≈ 36,056,338 centimeters.
Scale = 1 : 36,056,338.
