Question

How can you measure distance on the map?

✓

Answer

Maps not only help us to locate a place but also help us to find distance between two places in the following ways:

Find the scale for the map you are going to use. It might be ruler looking bar scale or a written scale in words or numbers.
Use a ruler to measure the distance between the two places. If the line is quite curved, use a string to determine the distance and then measure the string.
If the scale is a word statement, i.e., 'One centimeter equals one kilometer’ then determine the distance.
