Topic: Map Scale What is a scale?

Scale is the ratio of the size of

objects on a map compared to
their size in the real world.

Topic: Map Scale

Map scale refers to the relationship (or ratio)

between distance on a map and the corresponding
distance on the ground. For example, on a
1:100,000 scale map, 1cm on the map equals 1km
on the ground.

The scale on a map takes real

life things and reduces them in
size numerous times so they
can be shown on a map!

The scale on the map is 4 cm : 1 km which means that:

X

Y 4 cm : 1 km
8 cm : 2 km

If the distance on the map is 12 cm, how many

kilometres is it in real life?

Problems
If a map scale is 1:100 000, and two locations are 6.2 cm apart on the map, what
distance in km does this represent?
Map Actual
cm cm
1 : 100000
6.2 : x
x= 1 km = 100000 cm

Topic: Map Scale Look at the map of UAE taken
from Google maps
        UAE CONNECTION
The Actual distance between
Sharjah and Abudhabi is given as
174km
a) Write a map scale for the given
UAE map and find the distance
between Sharjah and Abudhabi
on map in cm.
b) Find the actual distance between
Dubai and Abudhabi using the
mapscale
c) Fid the distance between any
other two emirates of your choice
