I just want to say that you, south african matt damon, have single handedly saved my ass from failing a lab where no one bothered to teach the materials
Actually, He did not change the mm to cm, why do u divide mm (1:20 000) with cm(1:50 000) Aren't u suppose to convert the scale into cm the same as the one of 1:50 000?
Hi, I actually converted everything to mm. You need everything to be the same unit of measurement whether it's cm or mm, doesn't matter. Just use whatever makes sense in the situation. I hope this helps.
Hi Fish For the exaggeration, is it the lower the number is, the easier it is to climb or walk a slope or mountain? Like in the vid you said "10 times" so is that a low and gentle gradient and as the number increases it becomes steeper?
Hi Tsiko, that's a good idea. I am quite busy preparing my students for their final exam, so it won't be possible within the next few weeks or so. However, I'll keep it in the back of my mind. All of the best with the studies!
Hi, I know this can be confusing but I'm sure it's VS/HS. Click this link for confirmation: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_exaggeration. All of the best with the studies!
Can we use different units on numerator and denominators? I mean, my vertical scale is 1 cm representing 20 ft, while horizontal scale is 1 cm representing 1 km.
Hi, the reason I didn't do it is because there are a few small numbers in the calculation which would give you a decimal number of 0,... if converted to meters. For example, if you convert something like 4 mm to meters, it would make things a bit complicated. I hope that answers your question. ;-)
@@fish9529 i understand u sir! i tried to comvert 4mm to devide it by 1000(from mm to m we devide by 1000.from m to mm ee multiply by 1000..so when i divided 4 by 1000 i got a scientific number (4×10^-3)
