Explanation:

Step1: Measure map - distance

Use a ruler to measure the straight - line distance between the points on the map in inches (or other units).

Step2: Use map scale

The map scale is given as a linear scale. Let's assume the measured map - distance between two points is $d_{map}$ (in inches) and the scale is such that 1 unit on the scale represents $s$ miles. Then the actual distance $d_{actual}=d_{map}\times s$.
However, since we don't have the actual measured map - distances in this response (as it requires using a ruler on the image), we'll just provide the general method.

1. For the distance from point A to point E:

Measure the map - distance between A and E and then multiply by the scale factor (400 miles per unit on the scale).

1. For the distance from point F to point C:

Measure the map - distance between F and C and then multiply by the scale factor.

1. For the distance from point B to point D:

Measure the map - distance between B and D and then multiply by the scale factor.

1. For the distance from point E to point C:

Measure the map - distance between E and C and then multiply by the scale factor.

Answer:

1. Cannot be determined without measuring the map - distance and applying the scale.
2. Cannot be determined without measuring the map - distance and applying the scale.
3. Cannot be determined without measuring the map - distance and applying the scale.
4. Cannot be determined without measuring the map - distance and applying the scale.
