Page 2: Advanced Scale Concepts and Exercises

This page delves deeper into map scale applications, providing more complex examples and exercises to reinforce understanding.

The page begins with a review of the three types of scales:

1. Numerical (mianowana)
2. Verbal (liczbowa)
3. Linear (liniowa)

Example: A scale of 1:30,000 means that 1 cm on the map represents 300 m in the real world.

The page then presents various scale conversions and interpretations:

• 1:7,000,000 scale: 1 cm on the map equals 70 km in reality
• 1:3,500 scale: 1 cm on the map represents 35 m in the real world
• 1:8,000,000 scale: 1 cm on the map equals 80 km in reality

Highlight: Calculating scale often involves converting between different units of measurement, such as centimeters to kilometers or meters.

The page includes several practice exercises for calculating map scales:

• Converting 5 cm on a map to 15 km in reality
• Determining the scale when 3 cm on a map represents 900 m in reality
• Finding the scale when 6 cm on a map equals 360 m in the real world

Example: If 1 cm on a map represents 60 m in reality, the scale is 1:6,000.

The page concludes with exercises on ordering scales from smallest to largest and vice versa, reinforcing the concept that a larger denominator in the scale ratio represents a smaller scale (and thus, a larger area covered by the map).

Vocabulary: "Uszeregowanie skali" means ordering or arranging scales, typically from smallest to largest or vice versa.
