The scale.
a map scale
****************************************
A map with a scale of 1:50 000 (ratio of 1 in 50,000) means that 1 centimetre measured on the map represnts 50,000 centimetres on the ground.

What is used to convert the distance on the map and the actual distance in real life?
Somewhere on a map there will be a scale. The scale will tell you the ratio of a distance on the map to the corresponding distance on the ground. eg 1cm = 10km
What is a ratio of a distance on a map to the actual distance?
the map scale
Describe two scales that are used to figure out the ratio of the distance on a map to the actual distance between locations?
Ratio scales and Bar scales are two scales that can determine the actual distance. Ratio scale is describes as the ratio of units in a smaller dimension. Bar scales make use of graphic lines to find the distance.
The name for the ratio of diagram measurement to actual measurementis the what-?
The ratio for a diagram measurement to the actual measurement is known as the key.
What feature on a map shows the ratio of a map distance to an actual distance on earth?
A map scale.
What is the ratio of the distance on a map to the actual distantance?
That is called the "scale" of the map.
How can scale ratio be use in facility design?
Ratio scales and Bar scales are two scales that can determine the actual distance. Ratio scale is describes as the ratio of units in a smaller .
What type of map has a ratio of 1 inch map distance equals 600000 inches ground distance and smaller?
small scale
Why do you need a scale on a map and how do you use it?
A scale on a map helps you understand the relationship between distances on the map and the actual distances on the ground. It allows you to make accurate measurements and estimates of distances when planning a journey or understanding the size of an area. To use it, simply match the scale on the map with a ruler or measuring tape to determine the actual distance on the ground.
What is a representative scale?
A representative scale is ratio of a distance on a map to the equivalent distance measured in the same units on the ground, example: 1:24,000.
What is the distance from a point on the ground at an angle of elevation of 9 degrees to a hot air balloon that is 150m above the ground?
Using trigonometry and the sine ratio the distance is 959 meters to the nearest meter.
