1 dzień temu · A ratio scale is typically expressed as a fraction or ratio, such as 1:50,000. This scale represents the relationship between distances on the map and actual distances on the ground. For example, a ratio scale of 1:50,000 means that one unit of measurement on the map equals 50,000 of the same units in real life.
4 dni temu · Calculation Formula. The actual distance is calculated based on the map scale using the formula: \ [ \text {Actual Distance} = \text {Measured Distance} \times \text {Map Scale} \] Where: Map Scale is expressed as 1:X, meaning 1 unit on the map represents X units in reality. Measured Distance is the distance measured on the map.

If a map has a scale of 1:24,000, a measured distance of 8.25 inches on the map represents an actual distance of how many miles? 3.1 miles. If you measured 5 inches on a map and it represented 60 miles outside, what is the scale of the map? 1:760,320.
5 dni temu · A map scale of 1:24,000 means that one inch on the map represents 24,000 inches on the ground. To convert inches to feet, divide 24,000 by 12 (the number of inches in a foot). Therefore, 1 inch on a 1:24,000 scale map is equal to 2,000 feet in real life.
