SECTION –E
Case study based questions are compulsory.
CASE STUDY -1
36. A scale drawing of an object is the same shape at the object but a
different size. The scale of a drawing is a comparison of the length used on a
drawing to the length it represents. The scale is written as a ratio. The ratio
of two corresponding sides in similar figures is called the scale factor Scale
factor= length in image / corresponding length in object
If one shape can become another using revising, then the shapes are similar.
Hence, two shapes are similar when one can become the other after a resize,
flip, slide or turn. In the photograph below showing the side view of a train
engine. Scale factor is 1:200 .

(i). If the length of the model is 11cm, then the overall length of the
engine in the photograph above, including the couplings
(mechanism used to connect) is: 1M

photograph is 0.35cm? 1M
