Answer 2

Explanation:

The term 'the scale of the map' means the ratio between the actual distance on the ground and the distance shown on the map

Types:

1. Statement or Verbal scale

2. Representative Fraction (RF) or Ratio Scale

3. Graphical or Bar Scale

1. Statement or Verbal scale:

. In this method, the map scale is stated in words i.e., 1 cm to 1 km.

. It means 1 cm distance on the map corresponds to 1 km distance on the ground.

. Thus it is written on the map like 1 cm to 1 km

2. Representative Fraction (RF) or Numerical Fraction or Ratio Scale:

. It shows the relationship between the map distance and the corresponding ground distance in the same units of length.

. R.F. is generally shown as a fraction

3. Graphical or Bar Scale or Linear scale:

. A graphic scale looks like a small ruler drawn at the bottom

. This line is line is divided and sub divided into lengths each of which represents a certain distance on the ground.

.This scale has added advantage for taking copies of maps as the measurement does not change.
