Question

The scale of a map is 1:1,000,000. What are the real distances between two points if the distance between them on this map is 35mm.

Answer 1

35km; Since the points on the map are one millionth of their actual size, simply multiply by one million and convert from there.

35*1,000,000 = 35,000,000mm

35,000,000/1000 = 35,000m

35,000/1000 = 35km

Answer 2

The real distance between the two points is 35 km

Map scale given = 1 : 1,000,000

• Reading the scale in mm

• We can interprete the scale to mean, 1 mm on the map equals to 1,000,000 on ground.

Given that the distance between point A and B on the map = 35 mm

• The distance between the points on ground will be : (1,000,000 × 35) = 35,000,000 mm

Recall :

1,000,000 mm = 1 km

35,000,000 mm = (35,000,000 / 1,000,000) = 35 km

Hence, the distance between the two points on ground is 35 km.
