Answer 1

Answer:

To calculate distance on a map you must do the following:

Measure distance between two points on a map in cm or mm.

Multiply this by the scale of the map and divide by 100 000 if you used centimetres or by 1000 000 if you used millimetres to get kilometres.

Explanation:

Large distance on ground can be represented on the map with the scale. The scale is the ratio of a distance on the ground with the distance on the map.
