Answer:

we use maps scale by multiply the number of i ches on tbe map and times tne scakes to determine the true distance.For example,if the distance of the map was 5.5 inches and the scale was 1:6,336,000,the true distance would be 550 miles.To convert an area,convert the dimentions using the scale and tnen find the true area.
