1. **State the problem:**
We have a map scale of 1:10,000, meaning 1 cm on the map represents 10,000 cm in reality.
2. **Part (e): Find the actual distance represented by 8.2 cm on the map.**
Formula: Actual distance = Map distance \( \times \) Scale factor
3. Calculate:
$$\text{Actual distance} = 8.2 \times 10,000 = 82,000 \text{ cm}$$
Convert to metres:
$$82,000 \text{ cm} = \frac{82,000}{100} = 820 \text{ m}$$
4. **Part (a): Find the map distance representing an actual distance of 3 km.**
Convert 3 km to cm:
$$3 \text{ km} = 3,000 \text{ m} = 300,000 \text{ cm}$$
5. Use the proportion:
$$\frac{1}{10,000} = \frac{x}{300,000}$$
Cross multiply:
$$10,000x = 300,000$$
Divide both sides by 10,000:
$$\cancel{10,000}x = \frac{300,000}{\cancel{10,000}}$$
$$x = 30 \text{ cm}$$
6. **Final answers:**
- Actual distance for 8.2 cm on map: **820 metres**
- Map distance for 3 km actual: **30 centimetres**
