\n" ); document.write( "scale of first map: 1cm:4000m=1:400000
\n" ); document.write( "scale of second map: 1:200000
\n" ); document.write( "Each dimension on the second map is twice that of the first map.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Is the given area 12 centimeters square or \"12cm%5E2\" (12 square centimeters)?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Case 1: Area would be 24cm by 24cm
\n" ); document.write( "Case 2: Area would be \"48+cm%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "(doubling each dimension increases area 4 times)
