Answer 1

⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀ $\huge{\tt{\red{❥}\green{A}\purple{N}\pink{S}\blue{W}\orange{E}\red{R}}}$Finding area measurement from map and scale

Area must be expressed in areal units, which are usually distance units squared -- cm2 , mi2, and so on. We must therefore used squared conversion factors when finding area from map measurements.

Answer 2

Answer:

Map scales may be expressed in words (a lexical scale), as a ratio, or as a fraction. Examples are: 'one centimetre to one hundred metres' or 1:10,000 or 1/10,000. 'one inch to one mile' or 1:63,360 or 1/63,360.
