Scale refers to the ratio of a length on a scale drawing or model to the corresponding length on the actual object. It is usually represented as a fraction or ratio. Scale factor, on the other hand, is the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar figures. It is a single number that scales all the dimensions of an object uniformly. In summary, scale is used in the context of drawings or models, while scale factor is used in the context of similar figures and transformations.

What is the relationship between scale factor and area?
The area is directly proportional to the square of the scale factor. If the scale factor is 2, the area is 4-fold If the scale factor is 3, the area is 9-fold If the scale factor is 1000, the area is 1,000,000-fold
