If you measured 10 centimeters from your point a to point b tick marks, you would multiply 10 by 10,000 to get 100,000 centimeters, the true ground distance from point a to point b. Multiply your distance by the scale number. Distance on a map is calculated between two points, for example between a school and a museum.

The first means of measuring distance on a topographical map, or any map, is the straight line distance, which indicates a straight distance “as the crow flies.” this measurement is taken before calculating the slope of the land or other features that would impact the total travel distance.
