Chapter 4: Scale Drawing

By: Kelson
•Question
  1:
Diagram below shows polygon P drawn on a grid of equal squares with
sides of 1 unit.

On the grid in the answer space, redraw polygon P using the scale1 : .

The grid has equal squares with sides of 1 unit.
P
Question 2:
Diagram below shows polygon W drawn on a grid of equal squares
with sides of 1 unit.

On the grid in the answer space, redraw polygon W using the scale
1 : 2. The grid has equal squares with sides of 1 unit.
W
Question 3:
Diagram below shows a polygon.

On the grid in the answer space, redraw the polygon using the scale 1 :
500. The grid has equal squares with sides of 1 cm.
Actual length Drawing
45 m = 4500 cm 4500 ÷ 500 = 9
cm
20 m = 2000 cm 2000 ÷ 500 = 4
cm
35 m = 3500 cm 3500 ÷ 500 = 7
cm
10 m = 1000 cm 1000 ÷ 500 = 2
cm
Question 4:
Diagram below shows a polygon.

(a) If the polygon is redrawn using the scale 1 : 500, calculate the length
of side drawn for the side 15 m.
(b) On the square grids in the answer space, redraw the polygon using
the scale 1 : 500. The grid has equal squares with sides of 1 cm.
 Length of the side of the drawing
= 15 ÷ 5
= 3 cm

Actual length Drawing

45 m = 4500 cm 4500 ÷ 500 = 9 cm
20 m = 2000 cm 2000 ÷ 500 = 4 cm
15 m = 3500 cm 1500 ÷ 500 = 3 cm
60 m = 6000 cm 6000 ÷ 500 = 12cm
Question 5:
Diagram below shows a polygon PQRSTU.

(a) If the polygon is redrawn using the scale 1 : 400, calculate the length
of PQ.
(b) In the answer space, redraw the polygon using the scale 1 : 400. The
grid has equal squares with sides of 1 cm. 
Length of PQ
= 4800 cm ÷ 400
= 12cm

Actual length Drawing

48 m = 4800 cm 4800 ÷ 400 = 12cm
12 m = 1200 cm 1200 ÷ 400 = 3cm
24 m = 2400 cm 2400 ÷ 400 = 6 cm
Question 6:
Diagram below shows an irregular pentagon.

By using the scale 1 : 200, complete the scale drawing in the answer
space provided. The grid has equal square with sides of 1cm.
Actual length Drawing
12 m = 1200 cm 1200 ÷ 200 = 6cm
20 m = 2000 cm 2000 ÷ 200 = 10cm
14 m = 1400 cm 1400 ÷ 200 = 7cm
Question 7:
Diagram below shows a polygon.

(a) If the polygon is redrawn using the scale 1 : 300, calculate the length, in
cm, the drawing for the side 24 m.
(b) In the answer space, redraw the polygon using the scale 1 : 300. The grid
has equal squares with sides of 1 cm.
(a) 24m ÷ 300
= 2400 cm ÷ 300
= 8cm

Actual length Drawing

36m = 3600cm 3600 ÷ 300 = 12

18m = 1800cm 1800 ÷ 300 = 6

24m = 2400cm 2400 ÷ 300 = 8

12m = 1200cm 1200 ÷ 300 = 4
