Why use scale on map?
Using a scale on a map helps to accurately represent distances between locations. It allows users to calculate the actual distance on the ground by measuring the distance given on the map. This ensures that people can plan routes and understand the spatial relationships between different places effectively.
Why is it important for a map to show scale?
So you know what distance equals a mile which varies map to map.
What is the actual distance between two cities that are 14 cm apart on the map?
The actual distance between two cities cannot be determined accurately based on a map scale alone. Maps use a scale to represent real distances, so you would need to know the scale of the map to calculate the actual distance between the two cities.
How is a map scale useful?
Map scales are used so that you can tell the exact distance from place to place for example if youy have a map with a large town adn you are wanting to travel from a shop to the CBD you would want to know approximatly how far this would be. you wouldn't want to start driving adn find out its 5okms away. Hope this was useful
What are 3 things you can use a map for?
1) You can see where you are going. 2) You can tell which way a location is. 3) So you don't get lost BONUS! 4) So you have a sense of where you're going. :)
What is a standard map?
There is not a standard scale of map. A motorist may use a 4 miles to the inch map, a cyclist use a 1:50 000 map, and a walker use a 1 :25 000 map. A surveyor may use a 6 inches to a mile map. And so on.
Why was line of longitude created?
so people can tell others where they are by looking from the map

Why is the actual distance on the ground reduced on the map?
because it is not possible to take the actual distance on the paper so it is reduced
Why does a topographic map have a key?
the key explains what the colors and shapes on the map represent. It also has a scale so you can accurately find the distance between objects.
What is the importance of a scale on a map?
So that people can measure the approximate distance between the objects on the map
The ratio of distance in inches shown on a map to actual distance in miles is 1 to 50 if the map distance between two cities is 9 inches how many miles is it from one city to the other?
For a scale of 1 inch = 50 miles, a length of 9 inches is 9 x 50 miles = 450 miles
