1 shape cannot have a scale factor. A scale factor is something (a factor) that relates one shape to another.
A Scale Factor (SF) is the amount between two objects. lets say i have a square the length of the square is 2cm, the top side is 4cm. Then lets say I have a new square. The length of the square is 4cm, the top of the square is 8cm. The SF would be 2. Because 2 times 2=4. And 4 times 2= 8. P.S scale factor already multiplied. So you don't have to say times 2, then it would be times times 2.
A scale Factor is Algbrea so you have to... x - + and/or divided.
A scale factor is a number which scales, or multiplies, some quantity. A scale factor of two would mean to multiply whatever it is by two.
The scale factor of a scale drawing is the ratio of any length in the drawing to the true corresponding length in the "real" object.
The scale "4 cm = 1 m" is a factor of 1:25 (1/25th scale). 1m/.04m = 25
to work out the scale we take the number of mm in 1m =1000 and then divide by the scale factor in this case 1:75 so 1000 divided by 75 = 13.333333333333333
2cm x 1m/100cm = 0.02m
A scale factor in a number that changes the size of a shape by that scale examples: 1: if you have a square that is 1cm by 1cm and you increaseit by a scale factor of 3 the square would then be 3cm by 3cm 2: if you had a 2cm by 2 cm square and increase by a scale factor of 0.5 you'd get a 1cm by 1 cm square
If you mean as a ratio then it is 2 to 100 or 1 to 50 in its simplest form
The scale of 2cm by 1.5cm is 1:1.33 (approximately), meaning the actual size is 1.33 times larger than the representation.
When enlarging each length is multiplied by the scale factor, so with a scale factor of 2 each length is multiplied by 2, to give a new rectangle 1cm x 2 = 2cm by 2 x 3cm = 6cm.
you divide by 100 ... since 100 cm = 1m like for example 2cm is 0.02 m
If 2cm = 1 m then 3 cm = 1.5 mAnswer2 cm = 0.02 m and 3 cm = 0.03 m, there is not other possibility.Explanation There is... the question is about scale, possibly on a map, or on a plan. If 2 cm on the map represents (=) 1 metre in realily, then 3 cm on the map represents 1.5 metre in reality.
It is 2 cm : 100 m or 2 cm : to 10000 cm which is equivalent to 1 to 5000
2cm is equal to 20mm Likewise, 4cm is equal to 10mm Because these are measured in the metric system, they are nice and easy to convert. You can use this as a guide. 1km=1000m 1m=100cm 1cm=10mm
You increase the scale factor.
