Question

The distance between two points A and B on the Ground is 500m. Show this distance on paper by a line of 2cm. Express the map scale by any one method and mention it.

Answer 1

"The RF is 1 : 50,000 as it could be anything metres, yards, inches, etc.

RF = 1/500 and will be plotted on large-scale map

The distance between the points on the surface is 500 m

500 * 50,000 = 2,50,00,000 m on the ground

1 m = 100 cm

500 m = 50,000 cm

The distance that is marked on the map is done in cm.

RF = Ground distance / Map distance

RF = 50,000 / 25000000

RF = 1 / 500
