how can we use a scale to read a map?
Answers
Answer:
According to the dictionary, a map scale is defined as "a ratio which compares a measurement on a map to the actual distance between locations identified on the map." Since it would be virtually impossible to create a life-size map, maps are scaled-down versions of real life. Using a map scale is important when you are trying to determine the actual distance represented on a map. Most map scales are in terms of miles per inch. The ratio between miles and inches will depend on how large an area the map is representing. For example, a map of the United States will have a much smaller scale than a map of a city, because the map of the city will show much greater detail.
