Exploring Scale Drawings and Scale Factors

What determines the size of a scale drawing?

• The color of the drawing

• The size of the scale

• The type of paper used

• The number of objects drawn

What remains unchanged in real life despite different scale drawings?

• The color of the object

• The size of the drawing

• The type of scale used

• The size of the actual object

If one scale drawing uses 1 cm to 2 meters and another uses 1 cm to 4 meters, which drawing is larger?

• It depends on the object

• Both are the same size

• The one with 1 cm to 4 meters

• The one with 1 cm to 2 meters

Why is the drawing with a scale of 1 cm to 2 meters larger than the one with 1 cm to 4 meters?

• Because 1 cm represents a larger actual length

• Because 1 cm represents a smaller actual length

• Because 2 meters is smaller than 4 meters

• Because 4 meters is smaller than 2 meters

How does a scale of 5 cm to 10 meters compare to a scale of 1 cm to 2 meters?

• It is the same size

• It is smaller

• It is half the size

• It is larger

What happens when you divide the measurements of a 5 cm to 10 meters scale by 5?

• You get a scale of 1 cm to 1 meter

• You get a scale of 1 cm to 10 meters

• You get a scale of 1 cm to 2 meters

• You get a scale of 1 cm to 5 meters

Why is it common to write a scale as 1 unit on the scale represents a certain length?

• It makes the drawing larger

• It makes it easier to create the drawing

• It makes the drawing more accurate

• It makes the drawing more colorful

What should you ask yourself to ensure you understand scale drawings?

• Can I use different colors in my drawing?

• Can I draw without measurements?

• Can I create a scale drawing at a given scale?

• Can I draw without a scale?

How do different scales affect the lengths in a scale drawing?

• They make the drawing less accurate

• They affect the representation of lengths in the drawing

• They make the drawing more colorful

• They change the actual size of the object

What can you determine if you know the lengths on a drawing and the corresponding actual lengths?

• The number of objects drawn

• The scale of the scale drawing

• The type of paper used

• The color of the drawing
