Scale: 1 box = 4 centimeters
Are you produce the scale drawing so that it has a scale of 1 box = 2 centimeters which shows the correct new scale drawing
To create a new scale drawing where 1 box represents 2 centimeters, you need to reduce the size of the original scale drawing by a factor of 2. Here's how you can do it:
1. Measure the length and width of the original scale drawing in centimeters. Let's say the length is L centimeters and the width is W centimeters.
2. Determine the number of boxes in the original scale drawing. Since 1 box represents 4 centimeters, the number of boxes in the length would be L/4 and in the width would be W/4.
3. Divide the number of boxes in each dimension by 2 (since the new scale is 1 box = 2 centimeters). Let's call the new number of boxes in the length L_new and in the width W_new, which would be (L/4)/2 and (W/4)/2 respectively.
4. Multiply the new number of boxes in each dimension by 2 centimeters to get the new dimensions in centimeters. Therefore, the new length would be L_new * 2 and the new width would be W_new * 2.
5. Draw a new rectangle using the new dimensions obtained in step 4 to create the correct new scale drawing.
By following these steps, you will produce the scale drawing with a scale of 1 box = 2 centimeters, showing the correct new scale.
