Question

How is distance on a map measure by a piece of twine?​

Answer 1

In the twine method, a twine is placed along the feature to be measured from one end to other. The length of the twine is then measured in cm or inches using a ruler or linear scale and then converted into km or miles using the scale of the given map.

Answer 2

Take a long piece of twine and lay it along the route you want to measure. Mark the twine with a pen or cut it when you reach your destination on the map. Lay the twine out along the distance key at the bottom of the map (make sure you check whether you are measuring it against the km or miles scale)
