1cm on the map equals 20km in reality.6cm on the map equals 6 times 20km in reality.6*20= 120kmChicken is GOOD!
The distance on maps and actual distance on the ground depend on the scale of the maps if you chose 1 cm for one kilometer than it will be 9 kilometer on the ground.This is the simple understanding and dont be confuse with the calculation of cm. M.Saleem
To convert map measurements to actual distance, measure the scale distance on the map and multiply by the denominator of the scale (the larger number in the ratio). e.g. two cm on a 1:25000 map equals 2x25000 = 50,000 cm or 500 meters.
Use the scale given in the map. Measure the distance by tracing the road with a string. Then measure the string. eg.10 cm. This is the working to get the distance: scale given = 2 cm distance n cm. = 10 cm = 10/2 = 5 ans=The distance on actual ground is 5 km.
To find the actual distance between two points on Earth using a graphic scale, measure the distance between the two points on the map using the scale provided. Convert this measurement to actual distance by using the ratio scale (e.g., 1 cm = 100 km) provided on the map. Multiply the measured distance by the ratio to find the actual distance between the two points on Earth.
It means that a distance of 1 cm on the map represents a distance of 24000 cm or 240 metres in real life.
To find the real distance between the cities, multiply the map distance by the scale. In this case, 6 cm multiplied by 20 km would give you a real distance of 120 km between the two cities.

1/ 200000 = 13 cm/ x x= 2600000 cm x= 26 km between Canterbury and Dover
The map where 1 cm equals 50 km is larger than the one where 1 cm equals 100 km. This is because a distance of 1 cm on the first map represents a shorter real-world distance, allowing more detail and coverage of the area on the map. Conversely, the second map covers a larger real-world distance for the same length, resulting in a smaller scale representation. Therefore, the first map provides a more expansive view.
If the map scale indicates that 1 cm equals 100 km, and the distance between the two cities on the map is 7 cm, you can calculate the actual distance by multiplying the map distance by the scale factor. Therefore, the actual distance would be 7 cm × 100 km/cm = 700 km.

To convert map measurements to actual distance, measure the scale distance on the map and multiply by the denominator of the scale (the larger number in the ratio). e.g. two cm on a 1:25000 map equals 2x25000 = 50,000 cm or 500 meters.
It is 20 km * 6.5 = 130 km.
The scale of a map tells you how much real distance is represented by the units of measurement.... 1 centimetre = 1 kilometre; 1 inch = 1 mile; etc. So a map which was 10 cm x 10 cm would represent an actual area of 10 km x 10 km. If that map hadn't enough room for all the details I wanted to see, I'd have to go for a larger scale map were 1 cm = 0.5 kilometres. In this case a 10cm x 10 cm map would have a 'real' area of 5 kilimetres by 5 kilometres.... one-quarter the area covered in the first map, but in larger details. Small scale map therefore refers to a map where a real distance is represented by a very small unit.
On 1:175,000 scale map one cm on the map represents 175,000 cm or 1.75 km (~1 mile) in the real world.
In this case you have a map with a scale of 1:250000, meaning 1 map unit represents 250000 units on the actual ground. Since the distance on the map is 50 cm(centimeters) we calculate the distance as follows Distance on the ground = distance on the map * the scale 50 cm * 250000 giving us 12 500 000. Therefore, the distance on the ground is 12 500 000 centimeters.
