Length and area in scale drawing quick check
1. What is the purpose of using a scale in a drawing?
- The purpose of using a scale in a drawing is to accurately represent proportions and measurements of objects or spaces that may be too large or small to be drawn at their actual size.
2. How is length represented in a scale drawing?

3. How is area represented in a scale drawing?
