$\huge{\red{\mathfrak{ANSWER:-}}}$

Scales are required to navigate maps correctly. It gives you an accurate understanding of distance.

For example if the scale on a map states: 1:100000 or is 1:100000 scale map. Then that would mean that 1cm on the map would equal 1 km scale on the ground.

Answer 2

Answer:

This means that everything included in the map ground area, distance, rivers, lakes, roads, and so on must be shown proportionately smaller than it really is. The proportion chosen for a particular map is its scale. Simply defined, scale is the relationship between distance on the map and distance on the ground.
