Answer 1

• Statement scale is the type of map scale expression in which scale is expressed in form of a written statement, for example, one centimetre on the map represents ten kilometres on the ground. This can also be expressed in short as 1cm represent 10km or 1cm to 10km.

• The graphic scale is a divided line on the map with the line lengths designated as to the equivalent distance on the real earth. Several different graphic scales are usually given on a map so that different units of measurement may be applied.
