-We call scalar the relationship that exists between the magnitudes that a drawing has and the real dimensions of the object.

-Normally the scale used in the drawings is usually indicated by a proportion.

-Normally when we have to draw elements that are much larger than the available paper it is necessary to reduce their size proportionally.

In this case we need a reduction scale and the correct option is D. 1:25,000

One meter in the model is equal to 25000 m long of reality
