PART B – AREAOF KANGAROO ISLAND
In this part, you are to find the approximate area of KangarooIsland.
NOTE:
• Whatis the scale factor of the map? You need to discuss this.
• Select the MAP of Kangaroo Islandwhich shows the Scale.
You need to:
· Estimate the area of Kangaroo Island using at least threedifferent methods.
· Determine, mathematically, how accurate your methodsof estimation have been, comparing to a known area of 4405 km2. Howcould the accuracy be improved?
(Youmust include all the land area in your Map.
· Estimate the Area using 3 differentmethods
(Approximating Area usingSimple Mathematical shapes – like rectangle, triangle, trapezium ….; SimpsonRule, Herons rule if you have learnt it before)
· You need to show the maths you’ve usedto convert area from cm2 to km2
• Makesure you show the mathematics on how to convert your areas from cm2on map to actual areas in km2.
• Discusshow accurate your method of estimating the Area have been compared to the knownvalue
