Scle nd Enlrgement Enlrgement 2 Here is picture of Andy. He is 7 5 cm tll in the picture. In rel life, Andy is ctully twenty times the size he ppers to e in the picture. We sy tht this picture hs scle of 1 cm to 20 cm, which tells us tht the rel life Andy is twenty times the size of the one which we see here in the picture. (i.e. 20 x 7 5 = 150 cm) Exercise 1 1. Here re some scles. Wht numer would you hve to multiply ny mesurement y to rrive t the rel life size? 1 cm to 8 cm 1 m to 100 m c 1 m to 6 m d 1 cm to 1 metre e 1 : 9 ( one to nine ) f 1 : 100. 2. More scles. You would hve to divide ny rel length y the scle numer to reduce the rel life sitution into model or photogrph sitution. Wht would you divide y here to reduce the rel life to the model sitution : 1 cm to 10 cm 1 m to 50 m c 1 : 5 d 1 : 30 e 1 m to 10 km f 1 mm to 2 cm. creful 3. Use ruler to mesure these lines nd use the given scles to find the rel life distnce the lines represent : Scle 1 cm to 10 cm (length x 10) Scle 1 cm to 100 cm c Scle 1 : 10 d Scle 1 : 100 e f Scle 1 cm to 1 m Scle 1 cm to 1 km.

Clculting Lengths using Scles nd Scle Fctors Exmple : Solution :- A model vn is 8 centimetres long. The scle of the model is 1 : 50. (This mens tht the scle fctor for the question is 50). Clculte the rel length of the vn. Rel length of vn = 50 x model length = 50 x 8 cm = 400 cm (or 4 metres) Exercise 2 1. Clculte the rel lengths of these models, given their model lengths nd their scle fctors : A model us, length 10 cm. (Scle fctor 50). A model ship, length 20 cm. (Scle fctor 100). c A model stem engine, length 5 cm. (Scle fctor 200). d A model eroplne, length 12 cm. (Scle fctor 250). Ntionl 4 Book N4-1 this is pge 227 Chpter 21 - Enlrgement 2

(ii) Clculte the width of the ctul grden. Clculting Model Lengths knowing Scle Fctor Exmple : A vn is 400 cm long. A model of this vn is mde 50 times smller thn the ctul vn. Find the length of the model. (This time, though the scle is still 1 : 50, the scle fctor is 1 50 ). > This will reduce the length of the rel vn!!! Solution :- Length of model = 1 50 1 50 x rel length = x 400 cm (= 400 50) = 8 cm Ntionl 4 Book N4-1 this is pge 228 Chpter 21 - Enlrgement 2
