Answer 1

Answer:

It is not possible to show the actual size of the things that are shown in the maps. That is why scales are used. The scale is the ratio between two points on the ground and their corresponding distance on a map. For example, suppose the distance between Bengaluru and Hyderabad is 500 km. It is not possible to draw that much distance in a map. Instead the distance of 500 km on the ground will be represented by a smaller unit ( like 5 cm ) in the map. So, the scale would be 5 cm : 500 km. Scale can be represented in three ways. They are representative fraction, written statement and graphic scale.
