- Scale is the ratio between the actual distance on the ground and the distance shown on the map.
- The distance between the school and the home of a student is 10 km. If he shows this 10 km distance by 2 cm on the map, it means, 1cm on the map will show 5km on the ground. Thus, once the scale is known, it will be easy to calculate the distance between any two places.
