2. P.O.D. # basic advanced A student’s rectangular desk is 30” long and 18” wide. The teacher’s rectangular desk is 60” long and 36” wide. Are the desks similar? 30 60 18 36 = Student: Teacher: ? 30  36 = 18  60 1080 = 1080 ? Yes, the desks are similar. The two shapes above are similar. Determine the value of x. 6 24 9x9x = 6  x = 9  24 6x = 216 ÷6 ÷6 x = 36

3. Scale Drawings & Models

4. The measurements of a scale drawing or model are proportional to the measurements on the actual object. A scale drawing is an enlarged or reduced drawing of an object that is similar to the actual object

5. The scale is the ratio that compares the measurements of the drawing or model to the measurements of the real object. 1 inch 20 feet

6. Using A Scale Drawing I Do 1.5 cm = 3m The height of the Acrocanthosaur on a scale drawing is 4.5 cm. What is the actual height of the Acrocanthosaur? 1.5 cm 3 m 4.5 cm x = 1.5  x = 3  4.5 1.5x = 13.5÷1.5 x = 9 The actual height of the Acrocanthosaur is 9 meters.

7. Using A Scale Drawing We do Let’s try some examples on your guided notes now.

8. On a road map, the distance between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh is 7.5 inches. What is the actual distance between the cities if the map scale is 1.5 inches = 60 miles? 1.5 inches 60 miles 7.5 inches d miles = 1.5  d = 7.5  60 1.5d = 450÷1.5 d = 300

9. A photograph was enlarged and made into a poster. The poster is 20 inches by 30 inches. The scale factor is 5/1. Find the size of the photograph. 20 in 30 in Poster h w Photo poster photo 5151 = Scale factor: 5151 20 in h = 5151 30 in w = Height: Width:

10. 5151 20 in h = Height: 5151 30 in w = Width: Whiteboard: 5  w = 30 in  1 5w = 30 in ÷5 w = 6 in 5  h = 20 in  1 5h = 20 in ÷5 h = 4 in

12. Each group needs: Calculations worksheets Pencils Calculators Graph paper Ruler

13. Step 1: Determine the scale of the drawing. Step 2: Calculate the scale measurements of the classroom. Step 3: Draw the outline of the classroom on your graph paper in pencil. Step 4: Write the scale of your drawing on your graph paper in pencil. Step 5: Calculate the scale measurements of the furniture. Step 6: Add the furniture to the your scale drawing in pencil.
