Florida Map Interdisciplinary Cross Curriculum Project
Label the following locations using absolute location (latitude and longitude):
Tallahassee
Gainesville
Daytona Beach
Jacksonville
Miami
Orlando
Tampa
Pensacola
St. Augustine
Deerfield Beach
Ft. Lauderdale
Key West
Cape Canaveral

Scale: 1cm = 30 miles. Use proportions and their map to find the actual
distance in miles between the following cities. Use different colors to
represent each line.
Using the scale determine the distance between the following cities:
Deerfield Beach to Tallahassee
Ft. Lauderdale to Gainesville
Key West to Miami
Tampa to Orlando
Jacksonville to Pensacola
Pick one of the distances (lines) between the two cities above and draw a dashed
line to create a right triangle, then use Pythagorean theorem to prove the distance
between the two cities (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
Use the distance between one of the lines above (between two cities) and create and
solve a word problem involving using the distance formula. (D= RT) i.e. I drove from
Deerfield Beach to Tallahassee going 60 miles per hour without stopping. How long
did it take me to get there? (include your answer too)
Find the approximate Area & Perimeter of Florida using your map and scale.
Research on line to make sure you are close to the answers.
