How would you measure a distance on the map that is longer then the map?
To measure a distance on a map that exceeds its length, you can use a piece of string or a flexible measuring tool to trace the route along the map. Mark where the string overlaps and then measure the length of the string using a ruler. Alternatively, if the map has a scale, you can calculate the distance in segments, measuring each segment separately and then summing them up. This way, you can accurately determine the total distance despite the map's limitations.
How do you measure the distance on a map?
It actually depends on the type of map - but if all distances on the map are supposed to represent equal distances in the real world, you can refer to the legend of the map where there should be a scale indicating the ratio of map distance to actual distance - for example, there might be a line at the bottom that is 1 inch long that is labeled "1 mile" meaning that if 2 points on the map are 3.5 inches apart, they are 3.5 miles apart in the real world. If the map covers a big enough area however, you run into the problem that you can't perfectly represent a curved surface on a flat map. If the map is for a small enough area, the discrepancy is negligible, but when a map is covering thousands of miles, the discrepancy starts to become noticeable and you have to compensate for it.

What is the ruler on the map called?
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.
