Study Notes
Directions
- Directions indicate paths that show movement and orientation.
- Four cardinal directions: North, South, East, and West.
- Facing the sunrise indicates one is facing East; sunset indicates West.
- North is opposite South, and looking at a compass, North is to the right of East and South is to the left.
Compass
- A compass helps find cardinal directions using a magnetic needle.
- 'N' denotes North, 'S' South, 'E' East, and 'W' West.
- The sun's movement aids in determining East and West positions.
Map Scale
- Scale is used to represent real distances on maps, since exact distances can be challenging to depict.
- Example scale: "1 cm = 2 km" indicates that each centimeter on the map equals two kilometers in reality.
Distance Calculation
- When calculating distances between two points, add the total scale values.
- For example, if moving from Bheem Uncle's house to Toofan's house involves several path segments adding up to:
- 2 cm + 4 cm + 1 cm + 5 cm = 12 cm total.
- Using a scale of "1 cm = 2 km," the distances translate to:
- 2 cm = 4 km, 4 cm = 8 km, 1 cm = 2 km, 5 cm = 10 km, resulting in a total distance of 24 km.
Longest Road
- The road with the largest scale number represents the longest distance on a map.
- In mapped paths, always identify the largest number to determine the longest road.
Uses of Scale and Directions
- The scale is crucial for calculating true distances between locations on a map.
- Directions facilitate locating specific places accurately on a map.
Example Problems
- If a map scale indicates "1 cm = 5 km," then "13 cm" equates to:
- 13 cm × 5 km = 65 km.
- Comparing distances in different maps involves summing individual segments to find which map has the longest distance.
