You will have to check the legend of the map to determine what the ratio of Centimeters to Kilometers on your particular map is. Maps come in different sizes and ratios. The ratio is usually found somewhere at the bottom of the map.

For example: 10 centimeters could mean 10 kilometers on one map and 100 kilometers on another map.

To determine the scale of the map, you need to know the scale ratio. Assuming the scale is 1:100,000, then 4 centimeters on the map would represent 4 kilometers in real life (4 cm x 100,000 = 400,000 cm = 4 km).
