Scale drawing
A scale drawing is an enlargement of an object. Given that the scale drawing of a lake has a scale of 1 cm to 80 m, then;
1cm = 80m
If the actual width of the lake is 1,000 m, then the lake on the scale is as shown;
Lake on the scale = 1000/80
Lake on the scale = 12.5cm
Hence the width of the lake on the scale drawing is 12.5mon:
