Scale Drawings

A scale drawing is a representation of an object or space that maintains the proportions of the original while being resized to a different scale.

To determine the actual size from a scale drawing, multiply the measurement in the drawing by the scale factor.

It means that 1 millimeter on the drawing represents 5 meters in reality.

To convert 34 m to the drawing, use the scale factor: (5 cm / 2 m) * 34 m = 85 cm.

To convert inches to feet, multiply the number of inches by 7 to get the actual feet.

The actual height of the flagpole is 12 in * 4 ft/in = 48 ft.

The dimensions in a scale drawing are proportional to the actual dimensions based on the scale used.

Use the ratio of the width in the drawing to the actual width to find the length using the same scale.

The scale factor is 7, meaning every inch in the drawing represents 7 feet in reality.

To convert feet to inches, multiply the number of feet by 12 (since 1 foot = 12 inches).
