What does the scale of a map represent?
What does the scale of a map represent?
- The actual distance in real life
- The direction of north on the map
- A ratio of the distance on the map to the actual distance in real life (correct)
- A measurement of the size of the map
What is the formula to calculate the real distance using a number scale?
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 (correct)
- Real Distance = Scale Factor / Measured Distance on Map
- Real Distance = Measured Distance on Map - Scale Factor
What is the advantage of using a bar scale?
What is the advantage of using a bar scale?
- It is easier to use than a number scale
- It adjusts proportionally when resizing maps, maintaining accuracy (correct)
- It is only used for small maps
- It is more accurate than a number scale
