Hemera/Thinkstock

In this lesson you were introduced to scale used in maps, blueprints, technical diagrams, and photographs. You discovered that scale can be expressed with units to reference, or scale may be outlined without units as a ratio or as a fraction.

 

As well as studying scale, you practised drawing scale diagrams. This lesson was just an introduction. In Lesson 3 you will spend more time exploring scale.
