Scale Drawing Practice Questions

This document discusses scale drawings and provides 10 objective and 10 subjective questions related to scale drawings. The objective questions test understanding of scales used in diagrams and calculating actual lengths and distances based on scale drawings. The subjective questions ask to make scale drawings using given scales or calculate actual lengths, perimeters, areas, etc. based on scale drawings and scales provided. Overall, the document covers the concept of scale drawings and applying scale factors to convert between actual sizes and their representations in drawings or maps.

Common questions

The actual river length is 9 kilometers. Convert 45 cm on the map using the scale factor (1:20,000) to get 900,000 cm, which is 9 km (since 100,000 cm equals 1 km).

The length of PQ is 18 cm. Since the scale factor is 1:3, multiply 6 cm by 3 to determine the actual length of side PQ .

The actual length of each side is 52.5 cm by multiplying the side length in the drawing by the scale factor (15 cm * 3.5).

The missing angle ∠PQR is 60º, as angle measures remain invariant between a figure and its scale drawing .

The actual perimeter is 75 cm. Multiply the drawn perimeter by the scale factor (15 cm * 5) to find the actual perimeter .

The value of k is 4. The ratios of areas is 64:4, which simplifies to 16:1. The linear scale factor is the square root of the area ratio (√16:1), resulting in 4:1 .

The actual distance between the towns is 1.25 km. Multiply the map distance by the scale factor (50,000), which equals 125,000 cm, then convert to kilometers (1.25 km).

The scale is 1 : 400,000. To find the scale, convert 28 km to 2,800,000 cm. Then, calculate the ratio of the map length to the actual length, which is 7/2,800,000 = 1 : 400,000.

The scale used is 1 : 50. To convert meters to centimeters for comparison, the original height is 1000 cm (10 m). The scale drawing height is 20 cm. Thus, the scale factor is 20/1000 = 1 : 50.

The scale factor is 1 : 2. The areas are in a ratio of 1600 : 6400, which simplifies to 1 : 4. Thus, the linear scale factor is the square root of the area ratio (√1:4), resulting in 1 : 2.
