Measuring+Distance

__Measuring__

ln order to measure distances (short or long) on a map you have to relate to the scale given on the map. In order to do this you:

__Straight Line__ __Following Roads (corners)__
 * 1) Measure the distance in cm from the starting piont to the finishing point.
 * 2) Once this is done, convert the cm into metres. E.g. - Scale: 1:1000 (1cm=1km) Distance: 5cm, therefore the ACTUAL distance is 5cm * 1000=5000m (5km).
 * 3) Remember to leave your answer in the units stated on the question (usually km)
 * 1) Measure distance in cm, however this time use a piece of paper to measure every straight line, and when you come to a corner mark your measurements and start again.
 * 2) In the end you will end up with many measurements on the sheet of paper, however the start and finish will be the distance for the journey (first mark-last mark).
