What does the scale factor indicate?

Back

The scale factor indicates how much larger or smaller a scale drawing is compared to the actual object. A scale factor greater than 1 indicates enlargement, while a scale factor less than 1 indicates reduction.

What is the relationship between scale factors and proportions?

Back

Scale factors maintain the proportions of the original shape, meaning the ratio of corresponding sides remains constant.
