How to use maps 7 Distance and scale
Maps are much smaller than the places they represent. Maps are drawn to scale. This means that the map is drawn an exact number of times smaller than the area on the ground.
The scale of a map is the relationship between the distance represented on the map and the same distance on the ground. There are three different types of scale shown on the map of Turtle Island below.
p Island below. North Noordwyk W E S
1. A word scale tells you how much 1 centimetre on the map represents on the ground. The word scale on the map below is “1 centimetre on the map measures 1 kilometre on the ground”.
2. A line scale is a numbered line showing how many metres or kilometres are represented by the distance that you have measured.
3. A ratio scale shows scale as numbers. The ratio for the map of Turtle Island is 1:100 000.
Use the line scale to work out how far the lighthouse is from the airport:
1. Use your ruler to measure the distance of the road between the lighthouse and the airport.
2. Write down the distance. (You should get 4 centimetres.)
3. Position the ruler next to the line scale. The distance measured on the map matches the 4 kilometre mark on the line scale. The distance between the lighthouse and the airport is therefore 4 km (4 × 1 = 4).
Use the word scale to work out how far the lighthouse is from the airport:

1. According to the word scale, 1 centimetre on the map represents 1 kilometre on the ground.

2. This means 4 centimetres on the map represents 4 × 1 kilometres (4 × 1 = 4).
