Chapter 8: Mapping Your Way

Diwan-e-Khaas is nearer to river Yamuna than Diwan-e-Aam.

Aaram Gah is between Diwan-e-Khaas and Rang Mahal.

We will pass through Aram Gah and Diwan-e-Khaas while going from Rang Mahal to the Hammam.

Hammam is farthest from Meena Bazar.

The map distance of Lahori Gate from Diwan-e-Khaas is about 6 cm.

We know 1 cm = 100 m

So, the ground distance of Lahori Gate from Diwan-e-Khaas = 6 ×100 = 600 m

Make it bigger, make it smaller:

Here are some pictures drawn on a 1cm square grid. Try making the same pictures on a 2 cm grid and also on a ½ cm grid.

The side of the square was made two times bigger. Does its area also become two times bigger?

Suppose the original length of the side of the square is 1 cm. Now, area of square = side × side = 1 × 1 square cm = 1 square cm

When the side of the square is made two times bigger, then the new length of the side of the square will be 2 cm Area of square = side × side = 2 × 2 square cm = 4 square cm

So, when the side of the square is made 2 times bigger, then its area becomes 4 times bigger than the original area.
