2. What is Scale?
Scale drawings show objects which have been made smaller or larger but which are in exact proportion to the real object

3. Expressions of Scale Stated Scale E.g. 1 cm = 10 Km
This means that one cm on a map represents 10 km in real life

4. Expressions of Scale Line Scale E.g. 10 0 10 20 30 40 KM
The line shows what distances on the map represent in real life

5. Expressions of Scale Fractional Scale or Representational Fraction
E.g. 1:
This means 1 cm represents cm in real life
It also means that the map is 1/ the size of the real place
