Representative factor
- It is a map scale in which figures representing units (as cm, inches, or feet) are expressed in the form of the fraction 1 / x (as 1/250,000) or of the ratio 1 : x to indicate that one unit on the map represents x units (as 250,000 cm) on the earth's surface.
Calculation:
Given,
Representative fraction = 1 : 4000, Map distance = 10 cm
⇒ Ground distance = 40000 cm = 0.4 km
The distance AB on the ground is 0.4 km
