2 Scale
Diagrams and
Reductions
Review:
■ A) SF= 5 C) SF= 1
■ B) SF= 3 D) SF= 2
■ Picture A is an enlargement of B. What is the Scale Factor?
■ A) 1/3 C) 3
■ B) 9 D) 1/9
A Reduction needs a SF of
Less than 1
____________________________
Look at the Map on Page 325.
■ What is the Scale on the map?
SF = 1 cm
40,000,000 cm
– 1 cm = 400 km
= .000000025
What is the Scale Factor?
SF < 1 The diagram is a reduction
This Map is 40,000,000 times smaller
SF= Scale/Original than the actual island
400km x 1000m x 100 cm = 40,000,000 cm
1km 1m
Example 1. Drawing a Scale Drawing
6 cm
that is a Reduction
Draw a Scale diagram of this octagon. Use
2 cm a SF of 0.25.
4 cm
Reduction = SF x Original 6 cm x .25 = 1.5 cm
4 cm x .25 = 1 cm
6 cm 2 cm 2 cm x .25 = .5 cm
1.5 cm
4 cm 1
2 cm
0.5 cm
6 cm
Example 2. Using a scale diagram to determine length
The length of the truck is 4m
a) The front and back wheels of the truck are
3.85 m apart. How far apart should the
wheels be?
8 cm SF = 1/50 = 0.02
Due tomorrow.
Need to show work!
