The correct option is C both a and b

The straight distance between two place on a map can be measured by a strip of paper and divider.

Use a ruler to measure the distance between the two places. If the line is quite curved, use a string to determine the distance, and then measure the string. Find the scale for the map you're going to use. It might be a ruler bar scale or a written scale, in words or numbers.
