What is Actual Distance?

Actual distance refers to the real-world distance between two points on a map, scaled according to the map's scale. This distance is calculated by multiplying the measured distance on the map by the map's scale factor. This calculation is crucial in various fields such as cartography, geography, and urban planning to understand the true distances represented in maps.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ AD = 5 \times 10000 = 50000 \text{ cm} \]

The actual distance is 50000 cm (or 500 meters).
