The ratio of the length of the side in the big triangle to the length of the corresponding side in the little triangle is the scale factor.

To find the scale factor of the drawing, first convert the actual length from feet to inches since the drawing's length is in inches. There are 12 inches in a foot, so 8 feet equals 96 inches. The scale factor can then be calculated by dividing the drawing length (4 inches) by the actual length (96 inches), resulting in a scale factor of 1:24. This means that 1 inch on the drawing represents 24 inches in reality.
how to do a scale factor of cylinder is that you find the base and the height and the length of A area hope you like my examples.

The ratio of the length of the side in the big triangle to the length of the corresponding side in the little triangle is the scale factor.
You divide a length of one polygon by the corresponding length in the other polygon. Any length will do, as long as you use the corresponding length in both.
To find the scale factor of two triangles, look first for one pair of corresponding sides--one side from the smaller triangle and the corresponding side from the larger triangle. Divide the larger side length by the smaller side length, and that quotient is your scale factor.
Divide any length of any part of one of the objects to the length of the corresponding part of the other object.

The length on the map that represents 80m with a scale of 1cm to 5m would be 16cm. To find this, divide 80m by 5m to get 16. Then, scale it down to one centimeter.
1cm:15m If 1 cm = 20 m then 6 cm = 120 m real length

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.
