why breadth is taken 1 cm in graphical scale in cartography
Hello aspirant,
The scale of a map may be indicated as in the form of a written form or statement. Suppose, if on the map there is a written statement appearing that states 1cm represents 10km, then it means that on that particular map itself, a distance of 1cm is representing 10km of the corresponding ground distance. Hence, breadth s taken 1cm in graphical scale in cartography.
Hope, this answer helps you.
