If the linear scale of a map is 1:10,000, what is the area scale?

  • A.1:1,000,000
  • B.1:100,000,000
  • C.1:20,000
  • D.1:10,000

Answer: B

Area scales with the square of the linear ratio, so 10,000 squared gives 100 million. This is why a modest change in linear scale produces a very large change in the ground area a sheet can cover, and why halving the linear scale quadruples the area one sheet must hold.
