📐 Scenario & Scale Drawing Basics

Scenario: You're designing a custom study desk for your small bedroom. The room is only 3m × 3m, so space planning is crucial! You'll create a scale drawing using a scale of 1:25 to help visualise how the desk will fit.

Scale Conversion Formula:

• Scale drawing size = Actual size ÷ 25

• Actual size = Scale drawing size × 25

1. Convert these actual desk dimensions to scale drawing dimensions (1:25):

a) Desk length: 120cm = _________ cm on drawing

b) Desk width: 60cm = _________ cm on drawing

c) Desk height: 75cm = _________ cm on drawing

2. If a drawer measures 2cm wide in your scale drawing, what is its actual width?

3. What scale drawing length represents an actual desk leg of 5cm thickness?

0.2cm

1.25cm

5cm
