Question 1174278
<br>
The other tutor used an incorrect linear conversion.  Area is measured in square units....<br>
6cm^2 on the map for the village represents an actual area of 6*5000^2 = 150,000,000 cm^2.<br>
One hectare is 10,000 cm^2; the area of the village is 150,000,000/10,000 = 15,000 hectares, which is 150 square kilometers.<br>
Quite a large "village"....<br>
