It is called the scale ruler.
To measure distance on a map using a ruler, first identify the scale indicated on the map, which shows the relationship between map distance and actual distance on the ground. Place the ruler along the path you want to measure, ensuring it follows the correct route. Read the measurement on the ruler and then convert it using the scale to determine the actual distance. This method provides a straightforward way to estimate distances between locations on the map.
The distance can be measured with any ruler and compared to the scale on the map. For example 1/4inch equal 5miles, and if you measure the route and it equals 1 1/2 inches. 1 1/2 = 6/4, 6*5= 30miles
Graphic Scale is the printed ruler on a map that can be used to measure the distances on the map.
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.
a ruler measures the distance and a protractor measures the angles
Using a ruler which marked by Centimeters will more helpful to measure the distance of a map.
