How did Descartes think of the coordinate planes?
It is said that he was ill and in bed. He looked up at the ceiling where he noticed a fly. He figured out that knowing the distances from a corner of the ceiling along the two adjacent sides of the ceiling will uniquely identify its location. So, if the corner of the ceiling was the origin and the two adjacent sides were the axes, you have the Cartesian plane.
What shows the relationship between distances on a map and the corresponding distances on the earths surface?
The SCALE of the map indicates the relationship between lengths measured on a map and the actual distances. It can indicate the ratio of distances (e.g. 1:10000) or the equivalent actual distance for an inch or centimeter as measured on the map, often providing a measurement bar for various distances.
