My partner and I are stumped on how to find exact square milage area of an inset. Is there an easier way to find the inset area that we're missing or is the test answer key strict?


It's the bay area test on the test exchange question 41. It uses a colorado map and is asking the area of the mesa verde national park inset.

The answer is 281 Square Miles and I got 278 Square Miles.

Usually length x width is your best option, but maybe some maps have map area inset, I really don't know. But chances are, if the test has a question like that, there will usually be some easy way to tell.

Also, I would bet that there is an easy way for this test because 281 is a prime number and cannot be the side lengths of an inset (unless we go to the realm of *GASP* fractions and decimals...)

Hmmm... thanks for the help. Have you ever seen an inset map area number on a roadmap?

Can anybody link me a road scholar test with maps included.

It's the Ladera Vista test.
I've actually seen this test reused at an invitational this year.

Isn't that the test that doesn't require any maps?

The maps are on the document.

Yeah, this is a really bad test that doesn't test on most of the topics on the rules. You should only do this test if you've taken all the tests you have and have nothing else to do. Sorry to the test writers, but it really isn't a well-written test.

Yeah it's simple, but it's the only one I could find online that had the maps on it. All of the other ones required you find the maps yourself, which sometimes could get exceedingly difficult.

Is an Azimuth an object or a degree? Also what could we use the string for in our binder? We've never seemed to be using it.

An azimuth is the direction of a compass bearing. For example, 0° is straight up, 90° is directly to the right, and 180° is straight down.
The string can be used to measure distance by laying it out across the map, then comparing it to a ruler and determining mileage.

Then why does DXU46 contiousouly say you should have an azimuth in your binder?
