How are distances and measurements translated into a map or a scale drawing?

A reference point on the map is allocated to a reference point from the "real world". For every other point in the real, the direction of its image from the map's reference point is the same as the direction of the point in reality but the distance is the true distance divided by the scale factor. When all points have been so plotted, you will have a map or scale drawing.
Because scaling is a linear transformation, the image of a straight lines will be a straight line so it is sufficient to find the images of the end points and join them together - rather than find the image of each point on the line.

What gives the relationship between the measurements on a drawing or model and the measurements of a real object?
It is a matter of scale.
How do you calculate the scale drawing?
The answer depends on what aspect of the scale drawing you wish to calculate.
How do you find scale factor?
# is the ratio of the demensions in the drawing to the corresponding actual dimensions. The scale factor for a scale drawing is the ratio of the dimensions in the drawing to the corresponding acual bimensions.
Make a scale drawing of a giraffe that is 5.5 m tall The drawing is 7 cm tall what is the scale of the drawing?
1cm = 78.6
How do you work out the scale of a drawing?
Not all drawings are done to scale, sketches of buildings and people for instance. However if it is a technical drawing the draughtsman/woman will state on the drawing the scale used.
Explain how a proportion is used to convert measurements on a scale drawing or map to actual lengths or distances?
Hi
What gives the ratio that compares measurements of the drawing to the measurements of the real object?
It is the scale ratio or scale factor
What is the ratio compares the measurements of the drawing or model to the measurements of the real object.?
scale
What are the advantages and limitations of using a scale drawing to represent large distances?
measuring the distances
What gives the relationship between the measurements on a drawing or model and the measurements of a real object?
It is a matter of scale.
Are distances in a scale drawing proportional to distances in real life?
It matters check the proportional dictionary and see that
What is the difference between scale and scale factor?
The scale gives the ratio that compares the measurements of the drawing or model to the measurements of the real object. Scale factor is a scale written as a ratio without units in simplest from.
What is a ratio between two sets of measurements called?
Cross Products is the ratio between two sets of measurements.
What is an example of scale?
Scale is used on maps, for one. There's usually a scale on maps that converts inches or centimeters on the map to actual distance.
The Richter scale is based on measurements of?
The Richter scale is based on measurements of *Amplitude*. (^_^)
What is the difference between technical drawing and freehand?
A technical drawing is drawn precisely to a scale. Measurements taken from the drawing can be scaled up to produce or build a full size structure or machine, etc. A freehand drawing could be a simple sketch, detailed drawing, rough doodle, of a subject and is classed as a picture.
What are the 3 types of scales used in the development of sketches?
The three types of scales used in the development of sketches are: geometric scale, diagonal scale, and plain scale. These scales are used to accurately represent measurements and dimensions within a sketch or drawing.
