Question

WHAT DOES THE SCALE 1:1,000,000 represents in linear measure

Answer 1

The scale 1 : 1,000,000 in linear measure represents 1,000,000 units of length in ground as 1 unit on map.

• Linear means straight. Therefore, linear measurement is the distance between any two points placed along a straight line.

• Scale of a linear measurement represents the ratio of the distance between two points on map and the actual distance between them on ground.

• Here, the scale 1 : 1,000,000 represents that a distance of 1 unit between two points on map represents a distance of 1,000,000 units between the same points on ground.

• The units in linear measurement can be in metres, centimeters, kilometres, inches, feet etc.
