Using the provided map extract, identify the map scale type and calculate distances between specified locations in km and m.

Hey Ricky, good to see you again. Here are the answers to the homework questions based on the map: 1. Name the type of scale that is shown on this extract. The type of scale shown on this map extract is a bar scale (also known as a graphic scale or linear scale). 2. Calculate the distance in kilometres from Durban to Polokwane using the scale in the map extract. Step 1: Determine the map scale from the bar. The bar scale shows that approximately 3.5 cm on the map represents 800 km in reality. Thus, the scale factor is 800 km3.5 cm. Step 2: Measure the straight-line distance between Durban and Polokwane on the map. The measured distance on the map is approximately 2.5 cm. Step 3: Calculate the actual distance using the scale factor. Actual distance = 2.5 cm × 800 km3.5 cm Actual distance = (2000)/(3.5) km ≈ 571.43 km The distance from Durban to Polokwane is approximately 571.43 km. 3. Calculate the distance in metres from Karkloof to Johannesburg. Step 1: Measure the straight-line distance between Karkloof and Johannesburg on the map. The measured distance on the map is approximately 1.5 cm. Step 2: Calculate the actual distance in kilometers. Actual distance = 1.5 cm × 800 km3.5 cm Actual distance = (1200)/(3.5) km ≈ 342.86 km Step 3: Convert the distance from kilometers to meters. Actual distance in meters = 342.86 km × 1000 m/km = 342860 m The distance from Karkloof to Johannesburg is approximately 342860 m. 4. Calculate the distance in kilometres from Polokwane to Cape Town. Is this an example of a large-scale map or small-scale map? Step 1: Measure the straight-line distance between Polokwane and Cape Town on the map. The measured distance on the map is approximately 4.5 cm. Step 2: Calculate the actual distance in kilometers. Actual distance = 4.5 cm × 800 km3.5 cm Actual distance = (3600)/(3.5) km ≈ 1028.57 km The distance from Polokwane to Cape Town is approximately 1028.57 km. Step 3: Determine the map scale type. This map covers a very large geographical area, encompassing multiple countries in Southern Africa. Maps that show large areas with less detail are classified as small-scale maps. Therefore, this is an example of a small-scale map*. 5. Is this an example of a large scale map or small scale map? This map is an example of a small-scale map. It depicts a vast region (Southern Africa) and consequently shows less detail for specific locations. Send me the next one 📸
