Scale Drawings

Why might a cross-section of a window be drawn at a scale of 1:2?

• To make the drawing larger for better detail.

• To make the drawing smaller for fitting on paper.

• To make the drawing the same size as the actual window.

• To make the drawing three times larger.

What is the significance of the scale 1:5 in technical drawings?

• The drawing is five times smaller than the actual object

• The drawing is five times larger than the actual object

• The drawing is the same size as the actual object

• The drawing is half the size of the actual object

The scale of the drawing is the ratio of the...

• printed size of the part to its actual size

• actual size of the part to its printed size

• the part's size to the sheet size

• sheet size to the part's size

Why is a scale of 1:10 often used in architectural models?

• To make the model ten times larger than the actual building

• To make the model ten times smaller than the actual building

• To make the model the same size as the actual building

• To make the model half the size of the actual building

In a scale drawing, if 1 cm represents 2 meters, what is the scale ratio?

• 1:200

• 1:2

• 1:20

• 1:100

What does a scale of 1:50 mean in a scientific diagram?

• The diagram is 50 times larger than the actual object

• The diagram is the same size as the actual object

• The diagram is half the size of the actual object

How does using a scale drawing help in scientific experiments?

• It allows for precise measurements and planning

• It makes the experiment more complex

• It reduces the need for actual materials

• It simplifies the experiment to a theoretical model

If a map uses a scale of 1:1000, what does this imply?

Why might a scientist use a scale drawing in a lab report?

• To exaggerate the size of the specimens

• To accurately represent the size and proportions of specimens

• To make the report more visually appealing

• To reduce the amount of text needed

What is the purpose of using a scale of 1:25 in a model of a molecule?

• To make the model 25 times larger than the actual molecule

• To make the model 25 times smaller than the actual molecule

• To make the model the same size as the actual molecule

• To make the model half the size of the actual molecule
