How does a scale factor relate to a scale factor?
Tautologically!
What does the word scale mean in math?
it deals with proportion. think of a map ... it has a "scale". it would be silly to try and create a life-size map of a city, because it would cover the whole city. instead, they might use a "scale" to say that each inch on the map represents 1 mile in real life. a model airplane might have a scale of 1:30 meaning that if every measurement on the model were multiplied by 30, then it would be the size of the real thing. if you scale something by a factor of 10, you make everything 10 times bigger (or further) a scale factor of 1/10 makes everything 10 times smaller.
How do you convert scale to full size measurement?
Multiply it by the scale factor. For example 1:10 scale on length can be scaled up by multiplying the model length by 10. 2.3mm on the model will be 23mm in real life.
