Question

How to read and use the statement of scale, graphical scale and scale shown by representative fraction method (no drawing work only the explanation of their meanings).

Answer 1

Answer:

Statement of a scale describes in words the distance on the map, and it's equivalent distance on Earth's surface. It is represented in ratio, which we call Representative Fraction. Eg: 1: 50000 means 1cm on the map is 50000 cms on actual ground.

The Graphical Scale is a bar which usually represent the true distance of an unit length on the map. Graphical scale and the numerical scale can be translated into each other

While calculating the distance between two places the length can be measured by using a string or divider and the distance can then be calculated by placing the string or divider on the graphical scale directly and the kms can be calculated.
