2. Draw the cardinal and intermediate directionS W NE NW SW SE
Step “A”
Draw the cardinal and intermediate direction

3. Step “B” Label the Lines of Latitude and Longitude as followsNW SW SE
2° N
Step “B” Label the Lines of Latitude and Longitude as follows
0°N/S
37 ° W
2° S
35° W
33 ° W

4. N E S W NE NW SW SE
37 ° W
35 ° W
33 ° W
2 ° S
0 ° N/S
2 ° N
Step “C” Part 1 Create a scale bar EXACTLY 2” long and label as follows

5. How many degrees of latitude do you have between 2°N and 2°S?NE NW SW SE
37 ° W
35 ° W
33 ° W
2 ° S
0 ° N/S
2 ° N ??
Step “C” part 2
How many degrees of latitude do you have between 2°N and 2°S?
4 degrees

6. Now use the formula 1° = 69 miles and multiply 69 miles X 4°
Step “C” part 3
Now use the formula 1° = 69 miles and multiply 69 miles X 4° N E S W NE NW SW SE
37 ° W
35 ° W
33 ° W
2 ° S
0 ° N/S
2 ° N
69 X 4 = 276 miles
This is the distance in miles between 2°N and 2°s

7. Now measure the distance in inches between 2°N and 2°S
Step “C” Part 4
Now measure the distance in inches between 2°N and 2°S N E S W NE NW SW SE
37 ° W
35 ° W
33 ° W
2 ° S
0 ° N/S
2 ° N
3 inches

8. Now divide the # of miles (276mi) by the # of inches (3”)
Step “C” Part 5
Now divide the # of miles (276mi) by the # of inches (3”) N E S W NE NW SW SE
37 ° W
35 ° W
33 ° W
2 ° S
0 ° N/S
2 ° N
276 / 3 =
92 miles
SO… 1” is now equal to 92 Miles 92

9. Now divide the # of miles (276mi) by the # of inches (3”)
Step “C” Part 6
Now divide the # of miles (276mi) by the # of inches (3”) N E S W NE NW SW SE
37 ° W
35 ° W
33 ° W
2 ° S
0 ° N/S
2 ° N
SO… if 1” = 92 then 2” is
184 miles (92 x 2)
184 mi 92

10. Conversion factor 1 mile=1.61 km
Step “C” Part 7
Convert to Kilometers N E S W NE NW SW SE
37 ° W
35 ° W
33 ° W
2 ° S
0 ° N/S
2 ° N
Conversion factor
1 mile=1.61 km
92 mi X 1.61 km =
184 mi X 1.61 km =
148
148 KM 92
184 mi
296 km
296 KM

11. Step “D” Part 1 Calculation of Land AreaW NE NW SW SE
37 ° W
35 ° W
33 ° W
2 ° S
0 ° N/S
2 ° N 2”
So.. Check your scale and find how many miles = 1 inch 4” 92
184 mi
148
296 km
A = (2 x in?) X (4 x in?)
Use the formula
A= H x W
A =(2 x 92) x (4 x 92)
A=184 x 368
A= 67,712 sq mi

12. Step “D” Part 2 Calculation of Land AreaW NE NW SW SE
37 ° W
35 ° W
33 ° W

2 “
We want to figure out land area of just the “blue” area. So…. We estimate the blue area to be 95% of the Red square. So take 67,712 X .95 = 64,326 Sq. Mi. This is our actual land area.
4 “ 92
184 mi
A= 67,712 sq mi
296 km
148

13. STEP “E” Population DensityW NE NW SW SE
37 ° W
35 ° W
33 ° W
2 ° S
0 ° N/S
2 ° N
Just take the population of the island and divide in by your total land area
Our population: 50,000 (just made it up)
Our land area: 64,326 sq mi 92
184 mi
50,000 / 64,326 = .777 people per sq mile
296 km
148
