Sultanate of Johor allows the installation of a British commercial warehouse on the island.Second World War. Japanese invade the British colony.1955. Self-government for Singapore.1958. Birth of the State of Singapore.1963. Singapore integrates Malaya into Malaysia.1965. Singapore is no longer part of Malaysia. The Republic of Singapore is born.The Primors
The earliest records about Singapore are from the second century where it appears on a map created by the mathematician, astrologer and geographer Ptolemy. In the third century there are Chinese accounts in which it is termed "Island at the End", a reference to its location at the extreme end of the Malay Peninsula.
The name Singapore had its origin in the 14th century, when the Prince of Srivijaya when visiting the region would have seen a lion (something very unlikely for the region, which was inhabited by tigers and not lions). After this supposed encounter, the region happened to gain the name of Singapore, that in Sanskrit means City of the Lion (singa = lion and pure = city).

Explain how scale is used on a map and why it is an important tool
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

Scale on a map is important in order to give the map reader a sense of size. Maps are just about always smaller than what they really represent, and scale is a way of quantifying how much smaller they are.

First, find yourself a map. Then, using two points, find both the distance on the map and the true distance. Next, you divide the true distance by the measured map distance, and find your scale. Last, you need to place that ratio onto your map.
