Drawing Scales
• Scale 1:100 Meters
• Relationship?
• 1 meter is divided by 100
• 1 centimetre = 1 meter
• Scale 1:200 Meters
• Relationship?
• 1 meter is divided by 200
• 1/2 cm = 1 meter
• Scale 1:50 Meters
• Relationship?
• 1 meter is divided by 50
• 2 cm = 1 meter
Drawing Scales
• Drawing real-world objects
