In this lesson we are going to take scale drawings and find out what the actual size is of the object that is pictured.
REMEMBER: A reduction has a scale factor less than 1 and an enlargement has a scale factor greater than 1.
Our scale factor is our constant.
Below I am going to show you how to use an xy table as well as tape models to help you figure out the actual length and width of the scale drawings.
