a scale that tells the distance

∙ 11y ago
A distance scale is a representation of the relationship between distances on a map or diagram and the actual distances they represent in the real world. It is typically expressed as a ratio or a bar scale, allowing users to convert measurements between the map and reality.

What is the actual distance represented by the following scale distance if the scale is 1 centimeter 1 kilometer?
If the scale is 1 centimeter to 1 kilometer, then the actual distance represented by the scale distance would be 1 kilometer for every 1 centimeter on the map. This means that if you measure a distance of, say, 5 centimeters on the map using this scale, the actual distance in real life would be 5 kilometers.
What measures distance on a map?
A map's scale measures distance. It provides a ratio of the map's distance to the actual distance on the ground. For example, a scale of 1:100,000 means that 1 unit on the map represents 100,000 units on the ground.
Does a scale show measurement of a smaller distance that represents a larger distance?
Yes, a scale shows measurements of a smaller distance that proportionately represents a larger distance. By using a consistent ratio or scale factor, the smaller distance displayed on the scale can accurately convey the larger distance being measured.
