Question

explain the significance of"scale" in the map.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Scale help in calculating the area on the map. This is because it helps the map reader to measure various dimensions in the map such as width and length. The scale is used in map enlargement and reduction. Scale help to determine the amount of content/feature that a map will contain.

Answer 2

Answer:

Map scale refers to the relationship (or ratio) between distance on a map and the corresponding distance on the ground. For example, on a 1:100000 scale map, 1cm on the map equals 1km on the ground.

Map scale is often confused or interpreted incorrectly, perhaps because the smaller the map scale, the larger the reference number and vice versa. For example, a 1:100000 scale map is considered a larger scale than a 1:250000 scale map.
