Find the city or town on your map that is nearest to where you live. Choose any other centre. Write down the two places and the distance between the two places.

Scale: The scale bar shows 4 cm = 400 km, so 1~cm = 100~km Step 1: a) Durban to Johannesburg Measure the straight-line distance on the map: 5.0 cm Formula: Distance (km) = (map distance in cm) × 100~kmcm Substitute the measured value: 5.0 × 100~kmcm = 500~km Simplify: 500~km 500 km Step 2: b) Pretoria to Cape Town Measure the straight-line distance on the map: 14.0 cm Formula: Distance (km) = (map distance in cm) × 100~kmcm Substitute the measured value: 14.0 × 100~kmcm = 1400~km Simplify: 1400~km 1400 km Step 3: c) Durban to Cape Town Measure the straight-line distance on the map: 12.0 cm Formula: Distance (km) = (map distance in cm) × 100~kmcm Substitute the measured value: 12.0 × 100~kmcm = 1200~km Simplify: 1200~km 1200 km
