A graphic scale is one type of map scale, which tells you how distance on the map compares to the actual distance across the land. Graphic scales show the scale as a line or a bar with the distance markings on them.
Other types of map scales include numeric (such as 1:24,000 means one inch on the map represents 24,000 inches on land), or verbal (1 inch=1 mile).

Reading and using statement of scale graphic scale and scale shown by representative fraction method in detail?
A statement of scale typically provides a written description of the relationship between a distance on a map and the corresponding distance on the Earth's surface.

A representative fraction scale, sometimes called a fractional scale, represents the map scale as a ratio or fraction, such as 1:10,000, which conveys that one unit on the map equals 10,000 units on the Earth's surface.
