2. A map scale represents the Earth’s surface drawn smaller than it really is. A map is drawn to scale. Scale means that a small distance on the map stands for a much larger distance on the Earth’s surface

3. 1)Line Scale 1)Statement Scale 1cm : 50km 3) Representative Fraction 1: 5 000 000

4. Eg. 1cm : 50km This means that 1cm on the map stands for 50km on the Earth’s surface. Eg. On a map, if Ladner and Tsawwassen were 3cm apart and the statement scale was 1cm: 10km what would the actual distance be? Answer: 30km between Ladner and Tsawwassen

5. – this is a special kind of ruler to use with the map 50 100 150 200 250km It is still “every cm = 50km, but this time all you have to do is take a piece of paper, place the edge of the paper between the two places you are looking at, and make a mark for each space. Then take the paper and place it along the line scale (one place at 0km) and estimate the distance

6. 0 50 100 150 200 250km Ladner Whistler If this were correct, then the distance between Ladner and Whistler would be about 225km

7. Using the line scale on P.32 or statement scale of 1cm = 50km find the distance between: 1.Calgary to Edmonton ____________ Km 2.Calgary to Lethbridge____________ Km 3.Regina to Saskatoon____________ Km 4.Prince Albert to Regina____________ Km 5.Edmonton to Medicine Hat ____________ Km

8. 1.Calgary to Edmonton __300____ Km 2.Calgary to Lethbridge__180___ Km 3.Regina to Saskatoon___250___ Km 4.Prince Albert to Regina___300__ Km 5.Edmonton to Medicine Hat __450____ Km
