Scale and 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.

Identify the scale that reads 1 inch on the drawing = 100 ft. actual.

• 100:1

• 1:100

• 10:1/2

• 1/2:10
