In terms of cartography: Sketch (maps): Roughly drawn maps which may be inaccurate but can be quickly created. Maps: Should be accurate. Can be any scale. Features are drawn in their true position (within limitations of scale). Can be topographic; thematic; political etc. Diagrams: a cross-section etc. (aerial) Photograph: can look accurate but will be at different scales in various parts of the map because of distance from camera and pitch & yaw of aircraft. Plans: very Large Scale maps showing lots of detail. maybe of a single site.
if 2cm is 50km 1cm is 25km
It is drawn to full size
1:25,000 OR 1:50000
It means that if you enlarged the map enough, it would fit consistently over the land mapped. Maps not drawn to scale are used to show relationships between places without consistent measurements; this is common when the main thing being communicated is a route with landmarks and turns (in which case a 1-mile road can be drawn the same as a 2-mile road, as long as it's clear where the next landmark is), or a series of locations on a route network (for example a tourist map of a town may distort scale to fit outlying points of interest and show the roads used to reach them.
An architectural drawing is a map of a room drawn to scale.
Err no
No, but they are labeled as not to scale if they are not to scale. Most of them are to scale.

T The map is drawn to scale.
it means that the map is not like a map that IS drawn to scale. Instead of being accurately sized, it may use different scales to highlight certain features.
Usually in architecture.

Bar charts should not be drawn in the scale to real life. Each bar should be in scale to every other bar, allowing proper interpretation.
Most basements are drawn at 1/4 inch scale. So 1/4 inch will equal 1 foot.
This means drawing something exact. For example, if in a test it was to say 'NOT drawn to scale' it would mean it isn't drawn correctly and wasn't reliable.
If drawn to full-sized scale, the scale of something that is halved is 1/2" = 1 "
