You can put this solution on YOUR website! 125m on the ground corresponds to 2.5 cm on a map. What is the actual distance between two objects if, on the map, they are 4.2 cm apart?
-------
Use a proportion::
actual/map = actual/map
-------
a/4.2 = 125/2.5
-----
a = 4.2[125/2.5]
-----
a = 4.2[50]
a = 210 m
----------
