Questions and Answers

What does the scale of a map represent?

  • The distance on the map to the actual distance in real life (correct)
  • The direction of the map
  • The size of the map
  • The color of the map

What is the formula to calculate the real distance using a number scale?

  • Real Distance = Scale Factor - Measured Distance on Map
  • Real Distance = Scale Factor / Measured Distance on Map
  • Real Distance = Measured Distance on Map / Scale Factor
  • Real Distance = Measured Distance on Map × Scale Factor (correct)

What is the formula to calculate the real distance using a number scale?

  • Real Distance = Measured Distance on Map - Scale Factor
  • Real Distance = Measured Distance on Map + Scale Factor
