The map below shows a hilly region of the Central Plateau. The map scale is 1 cm : 1 km. Contour lines are drawn at 20 m intervals. A rectangular grid of 1 km × 1 km squares is superimposed on the map for area estimation. The following information is given: - Point P (on a contour line) is at elevation 120 m and is located 3 cm east of the left‑hand edge of the map. - Point Q (on the next higher contour) is at elevation 200 m and lies 8 cm east of the left‑hand edge on the same horizontal line as P. - The forested area (shaded on the map) covers 12 whole grid squares and half of 4 additional squares. - The road from Town X to Town Y follows a winding route whose length on the map measures 15 cm. - A vehicle travels this road at an average speed of 45 km h⁻¹. Using the map, answer the following questions.
