Exploring Scale Drawings in 7th Grade Math

What is a scale drawing primarily used for?

• To represent real-life objects in a smaller or larger size

• To create artistic interpretations of objects

• To calculate the weight of objects

• To design new objects

What is the purpose of a scale drawing?

• To provide a detailed view of an object

• To represent objects in a proportionally smaller or larger size

• To change the color scheme of real-life objects

• To estimate the weight of real objects

What does a scale on a drawing help us determine?

• The age of the object

• The material of the object

• The actual size of the object represented

• The color of the object

How can you use a scale to find out the real-life size of an object?

• By comparing it to similar objects

• By measuring the object directly

• By guessing based on the drawing

• By using the scale to convert drawing measurements to real size

How can you measure the height of an object using a sticky note if you don't have a ruler?

• By guessing the height

• By folding the sticky note

• By comparing it to another object

• By using the sticky note to mark intervals

What alternative method can be used to measure an object if you don't have a ruler?

• Using a piece of string

• Using a standard paper size

• Using a marked sticky note

• Using your hand

What does '1 inch represents 5 miles' mean in a scale drawing?

• 1 inch on paper can be any distance

• 1 inch on paper is just a representation with no real-life equivalence

• 1 inch on paper is shorter than 5 miles

• 1 inch on paper equals 5 miles in real life

How can a scale be visually represented on a drawing?

• Through a color code

• Using a line scale

• By labeling object parts

• By drawing grid lines

If a soccer field's scale drawing is 12.5 cm and the actual field is 75 yards wide, what is the scale used?

• 1 cm equals 6 yards

• 1 cm equals 5 yards

• 1 cm equals 10 yards

• 1 cm equals 8 yards

If the scale is not given, how can you determine it?
