A full scale map of a city would be totally useless since you would require an area as large as the city to open it up! Similarly, a full scale plan of a large building would be a pointless waste of paper.

How does a fashion designer use scale drawings?

How are maps and scale drawings related to ratios and proportions?

Why do architects use scale drawings?

What are quarter scale plans?
Drawings are drawn "to scale" usually 1/4 inch = 1 foot
How is a scale factor related to scale drawings?
The scale factor of a scale drawing is the ratio of any length in the drawing to the true corresponding length in the "real" object.
What is the advantage of isometric drawings?
Isometric drawings are drawn to the same scale along all three axes (x,y,z) so are useful for giving a sense of relative dimensions, and three dimensional scale. Measurements can also be taken from the drawings for items that lie along or parallel to an axis.
What are three careers that involve scale drawings?
Architects, fashion designers, landscapers.

How do you find a scale factor in math?
To find the scale factors of two objects, you need to compare the ratios of things like their sizes, areas, volumes, and length. For example, if one is given a volume of 7 for a shape, and a second shape has a volume of 14, you have to compare the volume ratio of these two shapes to find the scale factor. This scale factor is 1 to 2, or the volume of the second shape is twice the first one. Scale factors are useful for scale drawings.
