it means the map measurements will coordinate with the measurements of the map location.
When a map is drawn to scale it means a specific amount of distance on the map equals a specific amount of distance in real life, and that this scale is consistent across all of the map.
The ratio and proportions of all the features will carry over from the depictions on the map to what they are in reality or in real life. If an island in a bay is half as long as the bay on the map, then it is half as long as the bay in real life.
Example: A map where 50 miles equals half an inch. You could measure the distance on the map between two places. If it were an inch and a half, then you would know that in real life, the distance between those two places was 150 miles, and this same measurement would represent the same real life distance anywhere across the map.
The scale of a map is the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground.
So, basically, there will be a key that says something like 1in=10 miles. This means that 1 inch on your map is 10 miles in real life.
It means that the distance on the map is representative of the distance in real life. For example and inch on a map might translate into a mile at the actual place. Most maps have a scale marker near the legend or in one of the corners.

specific amount UwU
Any map not drawn to scale must/will indicate that is it not drawn to scale and will also be marked 'for information only'. For such map projections, the concept of Point Scale is introduced which will strive to keep the scale within narrow bounds and will clearly indicate as such on the map itself
A plan.
If details are needed (larger) smaller or fewer details (small)
a plan generally works using a smaller scale while a map uses a larger scale as it generally covers larger areas. a plan is a true scale scale representation while a map is drawn such that some features on it cannot be drawn to scale. on a map many features are represented as symblos and generalization is carried out reasulting in changes in scale and displacement of features. e.g on a 1:1 million map, rivers and roads may be shown but they cannot be drawn to scale. a 5m road would be 0.005mm wide if drawn according to scale. plans tend to be for a single or few applications while maps cover a large vary of uses e.g in exploration, military, reacreation, geological, navigation e.t.c
This means drawing something exact. For example, if in a test it was to say 'NOT drawn to scale' it would mean it isn't drawn correctly and wasn't reliable.
T The map is drawn to scale.
it means the map measurements will coordinate with the measurements of the map location.
it means that the map is not like a map that IS drawn to scale. Instead of being accurately sized, it may use different scales to highlight certain features.
An architectural drawing is a map of a room drawn to scale.
It is drawn to full size
Any map not drawn to scale must/will indicate that is it not drawn to scale and will also be marked 'for information only'. For such map projections, the concept of Point Scale is introduced which will strive to keep the scale within narrow bounds and will clearly indicate as such on the map itself
if 2cm is 50km 1cm is 25km
Depending on what the map is of scale is very important. On a road map of a region you might read 1 inch equals 1 mile, this is so that the map can fit on the paper or computer monitor, actual size is not an option. On a Map of the world the scale might be 1 inch to 1000 miles. Or if if something is drawn to scale it means, that you have one part of the map in feet and the other side in meters.
A plan.
because that's the scale the map is drawn at...
It depends on the scale to which the map has been drawn. Not all maps are the same scale.
This means that the size of a territory or the distance between two places shown on the map is proportional to the actual size or distance. For example, if the scale is 1:45000, it means that 1 cm on the map represents 45000 cm in real.
