SteveIn this scale, 1 centimeter on a map represents a distance of 200 kilometers in the actual world. This means that the map is drawn at a scale of 1:20,000,000 (1 cm on the map equals 20,000,000 cm or 200 km in reality). This scale allows for accurate representation of large distances in a smaller, more manageable format. When using this scale, measurements and distances on the map must be multiplied by 200 to determine the actual distances in kilometers.
Oh, what a happy little question! So, if 1 centimeter represents 200 kilometers, that means each centimeter on your map or drawing would be equal to 200 kilometers in real life. Isn't that just delightful? Just imagine all the beautiful landscapes you could create with that scale!

A map scaled at 175000 is considered to be which of following?
On 1:175,000 scale map one cm on the map represents 175,000 cm or 1.75 km (~1 mile) in the real world.
What A map scaled at 175000 is considered?
On a 1:175,000 scale map one cm on the map represents 175,000 cm on the ground. So if you walked 175,000 centimetres on the ground, you would have moved 1 centimetre on your map.
What is the definition of fractional scale?
A fractional scale is a way that map makers tell you what distances on the map represent in real life. It does not use any units, so the scale might state 1:100000 [or 1/100000] which means that 1 unit on the map represents 100000 units in the real world. For example if you measure off 1 cm on the map, this represents 100000 cm (equivalent to 1000 m or 1 km) in the real world. See related link, below.
What is a verbal scale?
a verbal scale is a type of scale. its the simplest form of map scale. it is used like this... eg. 1 cm= 1 km " one centimeter on the map represents one hundred kilometers on the earth's surface" ( verbal scale)
How long have map scales been used?
Unless you drew the map at full scale (real world size) all maps use a scaling factor of area of the real world to an area of the map. For example, on a 1:175,000 scale map one cm on the map represents 175,000 cm or 1.75 km (~1 mile) in the real world.
