What does a scale measure on a map?
If you take a look at a map, you'll be able to spot a few things, like a 'north' sign, a legend and the scale. The north sign is used to get an easy orientation, the legend is used to indicate the meaning of all the symbols used in the map and the scale is used to show distances in the map. The scale is a ratio of distance on the map to the actual distance it is meant to represent on the land. Example: generally scales are represented as 1:2000000 or 1:1000 or 1:5000 etc., and the commonly used units are cm(centimeters) and mm(millimeters). It means that one unit on the map is the equal to 2000000 units (in case of scale 1:2000000) or 1000 unit (in case of scale 1:1000) on the earth (on actual land). Let me explain how it works. If you take a ruler/rule and measure (let's say) 1 unit on a map and multiply it with the denominator i.e., 2000000 for a scale of 1:2000000, 1000 for a scale of 1:1000. So we get: 1unit x 2000000 = 2000000 unit or 1unit x 1000 = 1000 unit So it means that 1 unit on the map is equal to 2000000 units on real land. So if the scale is for centimeters, then it means that 1 cm on the map is equal to 2 kilometers on real land.
What unit of length is 1000 000 the length of a meter?
Micrometer.
What is the unit of length for thousands?
The unit of length is the metre, the prefix for 1000 is "kilo", so 1000 metres is one kilometre.
What is The smallest unit of length shown There are 1000 of these in one meter?
The smallest unit of length shown. There are 1000 of these in one meter.
What information do map scales and map legends provide?
A map scale indicates by a ratio, the number of m (/yards) on the ground, that are shown on the map. A 100 000 scale indicates that 1 unit of length on the map represents 100 000 units of length on the ground.
What is a scale map?
A map scale shows the ratio of the indicated distances on the map to the actual physical distance.For example a scale of 1:1000 means the actual distance is represented by 1/1000 the length, e.g. 1mm scaled on the map equals 1000mm, or 1 meter, in the real world.A map scale is an item on a map which helps indicate the distance between certain areas.Ex: To find the distance between California and Washington you would use a map scale.
What is the map scale distance represented by the following actual distance if the scale is 1 inch 1000 feet?
1.5 feet
What is 1063 feet on a scale of 1000?
Off the scale!
Is a kilometer the length of 10 football fields?
about because 1 kilometer is 1000 meters which is about 1000 yards and each field is 100 yards so 1000 divided by 100 is 10 football fields

What is 1M when the scale is 1 75?
to work out the scale we take the number of mm in 1m =1000 and then divide by the scale factor in this case 1:75 so 1000 divided by 75 = 13.333333333333333
1cm:10m scale?
1:1000
What unit of length is 1000 000 the length of a meter?
Micrometer.
What is the unit of length for thousands?
The unit of length is the metre, the prefix for 1000 is "kilo", so 1000 metres is one kilometre.
What is The smallest unit of length shown There are 1000 of these in one meter?
The smallest unit of length shown. There are 1000 of these in one meter.
How many 10 gram masses would it take to balance a 1 kilogram mass?
That depends on how far each of them is from the pivot.If the arms of the scale/lever are equal in length, then 1000/10 = 100 of them.
How many trillions in quadrillion?
In the short scale, 1000 of them.
