Use the scale given in the map. Measure the distance by tracing the road with a string. Then measure the string.
eg.10 cm.
This is the working to get the distance:
scale given = 2 cm
distance n cm. = 10 cm
= 10/2
= 5
ans=The distance on actual ground is 5 km.
The printed ruler on map is called the scale. It shows distance per inch. You can take a strip of paper, lay it alongside the ruler, mark the paper--- then, take the marked paper to measure distance between two points on the map.
IT tells you how to measure the distance on a map amoung other things.
Graphic Scale is the printed ruler on a map that can be used to measure the distances on the map.
You first measure the distance between the points as shown on the map, then you compare that measurement with the map scale.
So that people can measure the approximate distance between the objects on the map
A map scale lets you convert map distance to ground distance.

The map scale is a part of the map that is used to measure distance. The map scale can often be found in or around the map legend.

Using a ruler which marked by Centimeters will more helpful to measure the distance of a map.
If you look at the bottom of the map, there should be a scale. Take a ruler, measure the distance for each measurement, and convert to what you need

It's the relationship between the paper distance and the distance in the real world
