HeightLength Original Drawing Second Drawing Celeste drew an outline of a building for a diagram she was making and then drew a second one mimicking her original drawing. Fill out the table and determine if the second image is a scale drawing of the original image. Original Second Drawing 18 units 6 units 9 units 3 units
5
a. If the original lengths are multiplied by 2, what are the new coordinates? b.Use the table to the right to organize the lengths. c. Is the new picture a reduction or an enlargement? d. What is the constant of proportionality? LengthHeight Actual Picture Lengths (in units) New Picture Lengths (in units) Try this one! (0,0), (12,18), (12,0) 6 units 9 units 12 units18 units Enlargement 2
6
Use a Scale Factor of 3 to create new dimensions to make a scale drawing of the Flag of Columbia below.
7
Hint: Making a ratio table will help scale equivalent scale ratio surfboard Scale Drawing Length, x Actual Length, y?
8
Area Scale factor from first object to second: _________ Actual Area = ______________ Scale Drawing Area = ________________ Ratio of Scale Drawing Area to Actual Area: _________ 54 square units 6 square units
9
Finding the Scale A museum is creating a full-size Tyrannosaurus Rex for a model. The model is 40 inches in length, from the nose to the tail. The resulting dinosaur will be 40 feet in length. What is the model’s scale? Solution Write a ratio with the model on top and the full size on bottom. Make sure that both measures are in inches. Then simplify the fraction. == scale model full size
