5 Business Superstars!: SCALE RATIO

WHAT IS SCALE RATIO?

Scale ratio represents the proportional ratio of a linear dimension of the model to the same feature of the original.This ratio allows any researcher to compare the intervals or differences.

THINK ON IT!

Scale drawing is a drawing that shows a real object with accurate sizes reduced or enlarged by a specific amount,this drawing is important because it is useful to plan,visualize and adjust landscape plans before breaking ground.Scale drawings is useful in real world scenarios to be used as an illustration of something that is drawn either smaller or larger than the original.For example,a scale drawing of a building would be drawn smaller than the original drawing,but in the same scale. One foot of the original building might be represented as one half-inch on the scale drawing.Scales used in drafting include mechanical engineer's scale,the civil engineer's scale, the architect's scale and the metric scale.Scale drawings show the actual size of an object.If the object is either too small or too large to draw full scale,the designer scales it up or down.Technical drawings are drawn to scale so that the engineer's, architect's and builders can create the objects in the drawing to exact specifications.
