scale equal one box equals 5 m to the scale drawing of a playground so that the scale of box 1 equals 20 meters which drawing shows the new scale

Answer 1

To change the scale from 1 box = 5 meters to a new scale of 1 box = 20 meters, you need to adjust the drawing accordingly.

1. Understanding the Scale Change: Originally, 1 box represents 5 meters. To change this to 20 meters, you need to scale everything up since 20 meters is four times as long as 5 meters.

2. Scaling Up: This means that if you currently represent the playground dimensions with boxes on a drawing, you will need to use 4 times fewer boxes to represent the same distance. For example, if a piece on your drawing was 4 boxes long (which equals 20 meters in the old scale), it would now be represented as just 1 box in the new scale (20 meters in the new scale).

3. New Drawing Representation: On your new drawing, make sure that:

   • Every feature that was 1 box long in the 5-meter scale is now represented as 1/4 of a box in the new 20-meter scale.
   • For any feature that was 2 boxes long (10 meters), it would now be represented as 1/2 of a box (20 meters).

4. Drawing Redraw: If you are creating or redrawing the playground:

   • Make sure to adjust all the dimensions proportionally.
   • Label the new scale clearly, indicating that now 1 box equals 20 meters.

Unfortunately, I can't show you the drawings directly, but based on these principles, you can update your drawing to reflect the new scaling accurately. If you need specific examples or further details, feel free to ask!
