6-3 Scale Drawings and Models
____________ PERIOD _____
(Pages 276–280)
When objects are too small or too large to be drawn or constructed at actual
size, people use a scale drawing or a model. The scale is the relationship
between the measurements of the drawing or model to the measurements of
the object. The scale can be written as a scale factor, which is the ratio of
the length or size of the drawing or model to the length of the corresponding
side or part on the actual object.
Examples
a. The key on a map states that 1 inch
is equal to 10 miles. Write the scale
for the map.
1 inch
10 miles
b. According to EXAMPLE A, how far
apart would two cities be in actual
distance if they were 5 inches apart
on the map?
