Scale of a map
Scale is a way to make drawing easy to fit
on a paper
Why is it important?
Just think how
stupid is to search
a paper of India
size ,then you
might go to Goa to
see it on map.
I can’t make a map on a paper ,that the
person will who use need to reach Goa to
see Goa on map, so we use scale . A map
could be made on are comfort .e.g. a wall
map in order to learn it. A small map
used to carry while travelling.
You may draw an apple on canvas then
you might draw it big, but if you on a
copy it must be small so that it can fit. But
any way you are drawing a apple which
size does not change.
We can understand it very easily.
Just see 5 millimeter
on the map=50
kilometer on the
ground
Look at some more
Look
This map shows it in a different way
using under bracket. 2cm on map=20km
on ground
Lets see how to
• Take a scale measure just like from
Mapusa till Dharbandora its 4cm
and scale is 2cm=20km,so
its1cm=10km,4multiply by
10=40km.So we need to travel40km
to reach Dharbandora from
Mapusa.
