D. Map scaleExplanation
The map scale can help determine the approximate distance between two locations. The map scale provides a ratio that represents the relationship between the distances on the map and the actual distances on the ground. By using the scale, one can measure the distance between two points on the map and estimate the corresponding distance in real life. This is useful for planning routes, calculating travel times, and understanding the relative distances between different locations on a map.Rate this question:
