What to use to measure distance on a map?
If you look at the bottom of the map, there should be a scale. Take a ruler, measure the distance for each measurement, and convert to what you need
Which scale on a protractor is used for determining distance in degrees?
Degrees are a measure of angular separation, not distances. You cannot, therefore, use the protractor for determining distances.
The smallest unit to measure length is?
The smallest unit is the Planck Length. Theoretically, it is not that there can be nothing smaller, but for various reasons that have nothing to do with the limits of technology there is nothing that can be known about anything that happens to be smaller. For scale, the number of Planck Lengths in the diameter of a proton is 10 to the twentieth power.
What is a scale and when is it used?
A scale is used to measure a weight of an object
How do you describe a map scale?
A map with a scale of 1:50 000 (one in fifty thousand) means that 1 centimetre measured on the map represents 50,000 centimetres on the ground.
Why is scale on maps used?
As an example, a map with a scale of 1:50,000 (one to fifty thousand centimetres) means that 1 centimetre measured on the map, represents 50,000 centimetre on the ground. Without knowing a map's scale. distance would be difficult to measure.
Why scale on a map is useful?
As an example, a map with a scale of 1:50,000 (one to fifty thousand centimetres) means that 1 centimetre measured on the map, represents 50,000 centimetre on the ground. Without knowing a map's scale. distance would be difficult to measure.
What tool usually found in the legend is used to measure distance on a map?
