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?

Oh, what a delightful question! To find the scale of the drawing, we simply need to divide the height of the real giraffe (5.5 meters) by the height of the drawing (7 centimeters). This will give us the scale of the drawing, which in this case is 1:78. Isn't that just lovely? Just remember, there are no mistakes in art, only happy little accidents.
