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.

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


Why would a scale M to determine distance m?

The scale factor M is used to convert the measurements on the scale to the actual distances. By multiplying the measurement on the scale by the scale factor M, you can find the true distance in meters. This allows you to accurately measure distances using a scaled-down representation on the map or drawing.


What is the statement of scale?

The statement of scale is a formal document that outlines the specific size or dimensions of a map or architectural drawing. It typically includes a scale bar or ratio to indicate the relationship between the measurements on the map or drawing and the actual physical distances they represent.

What is the importance of the scale key in understanding the measurements and proportions of a map?

The scale key on a map is important because it shows the relationship between the distances on the map and the actual distances in the real world. It helps people understand the measurements and proportions of the map accurately.


What is the definition for a distance scale?

A distance scale is a representation of the relationship between distances on a map or diagram and the actual distances they represent in the real world. It is typically expressed as a ratio or a bar scale, allowing users to convert measurements between the map and reality.


What is the scale and why scale must be considered when the draughtman drawing the plan?

Scale is how much smaller(or bigger) the drawing is compared to the real object. It'd be real awkward if you were drawing a house to have to make the drawing as big as the house would be. But for the drawing to work out you need to know how to translate between the drawing and reality - so you decide something. Scale 1:12 for instance would mean that something that's one inch in the drawing would be one foot in reality.


What is the meaning of a bar scale?

A bar scale is a graphic scale that visually represents the ratio between distances on a map or drawing and actual distances on Earth. It can be used to estimate the actual size of features or distances represented on the map.
