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:
- Numerical mianowana
- Verbal liczbowa
- 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 andthus,alargerareacoveredbythemap.
Vocabulary: "Uszeregowanie skali" means ordering or arranging scales, typically from smallest to largest or vice versa.
