The map needs a scale so that distances on the map can be worked out.
a road map does not need a scale :) your welcome
I need a map scale measuring the distance from Tennessee to Guatemala . Which map scale can i use? And can you give me the distances ( like 2 cm would be 1 mile)
A 1:50,000 scale map represents a much larger area than a 1:1 scale map. To determine the size in real life, you would need to know the dimensions of the map itself.
Maps need a scale so that people can see how far things are apart on the map and relate this distance to real distances on the ground.
On a map, a scale of 1 centimetre typically represents a specific distance in the real world, which can vary based on the map's scale. For example, if the scale is 1:100,000, then 1 centimetre on the map represents 100,000 centimetres in reality, or 1 kilometre. To determine the exact distance, you need to check the map's scale.
Here is a little trick to know how to tell the difference between a large scale map, and a small scale map. A large scale map is a map where your house would look large on it. For example, a map of your neighborhood, or a map of you area. (You can see you house on this map) A small scale map is a map where your house would look small on it (or you can't see it at all), like a map of the world, or a map of Europe. So large scale = large house small scale = small house.
The height of the land, and the scale of the map
A large scale map is a map with much more detail and focus in a particular area. For example, a map of a neighborhood or street compared to a small scale map, a map of Europe.
The answer depends on the scale of the map.The answer depends on the scale of the map.The answer depends on the scale of the map.The answer depends on the scale of the map.
This is known as the scale.
T The map is drawn to scale.
you use a map scale by measuring by inches
