Dear student,

It is done by measuring the distance of two places in the map with
the help of scale Say, the distance between Kingsbridge and
Salcombe is X cm in the scale Then,
a) X cm is represented by 5
4km 1 cm is represented by 5
4X km Hence the scale of graph is 1cm=5
4X km b) Similarly, measure the distance between Modbury and Dartmouth with the help of scaleLets say it is Y cmthen, we know1 cm is represented by= 5
4X km Y cm is represented by =5
4X×Y km
