Draw a simple map of a school’s playground. Let us assume it is a rectangle, 40 m in length and 30 m in width. Draw it precisely with your ruler on a scale of 1 cm = 10 m. Now measure the diagonal of the rectangle. How many centimetres do you get? Using the scale, calculate the real length of the playground’s diagonal, in metres.

Here’s and improved map of the school’s playground. It includes:
* A football field marked with dash green lines.
* Basketball court marked with dotted Orange lines.
* Goals and hoops indicated with blue and red lines respectively.
* Trees represented by Green crosses.

The playground is drawn to scale, with 1 centimeter representing 10 meters and the dimensions are clearly labelled. This enhanced map provides a better visualisation of the playground’s layout and features.
The diagonal of the rectangle on the map measures 5 cm. Using the scale of 1 cm equal to 10 meters, the real length of the playground’s diagonal is 50 m.
