Measuring Trade Routes with a Compass

The video tutorial guides students on how to complete question two for document A, which involves calculating the distance cotton goods travel from Tulum to Bonampak. It covers three parts: determining the total distance, identifying sea and land routes, and using a scale and compass for measurement. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of accurately tracing routes and maintaining consistent measurements to find the total distance traveled by sea and land.

What is the main task described in the introduction of the video?

• Learning about the history of trade routes

• Finding the shortest route to Bonampak

• Calculating the cost of cotton goods

• Completing question two for document A

Which of the following is NOT one of the three parts of question two?

• Calculating the total distance

• Determining the sea journey distance

• Finding the cost of the journey

• Calculating the land journey distance

What is the first step in locating the trade routes on the map?

• Checking the map legend

• Identifying the scale

• Finding the sea trade routes

• Locating the land trade routes

What tool is suggested for measuring distances on the map?

• Protractor

• Compass

• String

• Ruler

How should the compass be set for accurate measurement?

• At a random length

• According to the map's scale

• At the shortest possible length

• At the longest possible length

What is the starting point for measuring the sea route?

• Bonampak

• Central America

• Tulum

• Yucatan Peninsula

What should you do if there is no visible route on the map?

• Create a new route

• Use an alternative map

• Assume the route exists

• Do not use that route

What is the importance of keeping the compass at the same distance?

• To avoid getting lost

• To save time

• To ensure accuracy in measurement

• To make the map look neat

What is the final step in answering question two?

• Calculating the cost

• Drawing the route

• Checking the map legend

• Ensuring all parts are answered

What should you remember about the compass when measuring?

• It should be used only for sea routes

• It should match the scale distance

• It should be used only for land routes

• It should be adjusted frequently
