13-6 Maps and Scale Drawings
We learned that a scale drawing is a drawing that shows the object larger or smaller than its actual size. Then we learned that scale drawings often represent objects that are too large or too small to be shown at their actual size. Next we learned that a map is a special type of scale drawing which usually represents a particular region or place as if looking down from above and the scale is a ratio between the measure of the drawing and the actual measure.
