Architect Plans
 If you had to draw the table you are sitting at
on a sheet of A4 paper, how would you do it?
 You would make it smaller? How much
smaller?
 We have to make it proportionally smaller?
Why?
 We have to reduce it by a scale factor? What
does that mean?
Scale factors
 When we draw maps or plans
we use a scale so that we can
fit a large area on a small
amount of paper. Making a
life-size drawing would
perhaps be more accurate but
perhaps a little impractical.
 What a scale factor does is
reduce or enlarge a shape
such that while it is made
bigger or smaller, its
proportions remain the same.
Enlarging by a scale factor
 The size is increased
 Proportionally equal
Drawing to Scale
 When architects draw up plans they use a scale, for example 1:20
 This means that 1cm on the drawing represents 20cm in real life
 Why do they do this?
 Drawing to scale is easy!
 If using a scale of 1:100 that means that 1cm on the drawing would
represent 100cm (1m) in real life
 If I therefore wanted to draw my bed, for example, and the bed was
200cm x 150cm (2m x 1.5m) then how big would I draw the bed on
my plans?
 Thats right  I would draw it 2cm by 1.5 cm
How about different scales?
 This rectangle is 2cm by 4cm
 If the scale were 1:20 then how big would the rectangle be?
 For every 1cm on the drawing we have to count 20cm in real life
 20 x 4cm = 80cm
 20 x 2cm = 40cm
 How big would it be in real life if the scale were 1:100?
 What about if the scale were 1:50?
 How about 1:10?
2cm
4cm
