Answer:
0.0015 km².
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that a map is drawn to a scale of 1 cm to 250 cm.
[tex]1\ cm\times 1\ cm=250\ cm\times 250\ cm[/tex]
[tex]1\ cm^2=62500\ cm^2[/tex]
It is given that an airport has an area of 240 cm² on the map. So, its actual area is
[tex]Area=240\times 62500\ cm^2[/tex]
[tex]Area=15000000\ cm^2[/tex]
[tex]Area=\dfrac{15000000}{10000000000}\ km^2[/tex]
[tex]Area=0.0015\ cm^2[/tex] [tex][\because 1\ km^2=10000000000\ cm^2][/tex]
Therefore, the area of airport is 0.0015 km².
