\n<\/strong>Topic: Plain scales and their uses
\n\t\t\t\t<\/strong>Content:
\n<\/strong>(i) Meaning of plane scale.
\n\t\t\t(ii) Construction of plane scales.
\nMeaning of plane scale
\nA scale is used to measure or lay out a line on a drawing in full size, or larger or smaller than full size. The term scale also refers to the ratio of the size of a drawing to the actual object. This ratio or fraction is called the Representative Fraction<\/em> of a scale.
\nRepresentative fraction (RF) = distance or size drawn
\ndistance or size represented
\nThe representative fractions of the most commonly used scales are as follows:
\n1:1{full size}
\n1:2{half full size}
\n1:5{one-fifth full size}
\n1:10{one-tenth full size}
\n2:1{twice full size}
\n5:1{five times full size}
\nThe most commonly used scales are plain and diagonalscxles
\nPlain scale: A plain scale has two units of measurement. They are metres and decimetres. Scales such as 1:2, 1:5, and 1:100 can be used direct from a standard scale rule. Other scales, for example, 1:21\/2<\/sup>, would need to be constructed<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0Evaluation Questions
\n\"\"\/1. Define representative fraction.
\n2. What is a plain scale?
\nConstruction of plain scale.
\nTo construct a plain scale of 1: 21<\/sup>\/2 <\/sub>to show a maximum of 400mm and a minimum of 10mm.
\n<\/em>

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0Method<\/strong>:
\n\"\"\/ (i) Workout the total or maximum length of the scale. 1: 21<\/sup>\/2 x 400mm = 160mm
\n(ii) Draw a line 160mm long and divide it into four (4) equal parts of 40mm units each. (iii) The height of the scale can be any convenient height.
\n(iv) Divide the first part (40mm) into 10 equal parts.
\n(v) Print the scale ratio and number the divisions.
\nNote: <\/em>the scale is used by taking hundreds to the right of zero and tens to the left. It is best to use
\ndividers to mark sizes from the scale. The values of X and Y are respectively 280mm and 130mm.<\/p>\n

\u00a0To construct a scale of 2cm equals 1metre to read up to 6m in decimeter<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0Method:
\n\"\"\/ Every 2cm drawn is equal to 1m (100cm) of the actual object. Therefore scale ratio = 2 : 100 or 1 : 50
\n(i) Calculate the total length of the scale rule : If every 2cm on the scale rule is
\nequivalent to 1m, therefore a scale rule that could read up to 6m will have
\na total length equal to (2 x 6) cm i.e. 12cm or 120mm.( 2<\/sup>\/100 x 600) = 12cm = 120mm.
\n(ii) Draw a line 120mm long and divide it into 6 equal parts of 20mm units each.
\n(iii) The height of the scale rule could be any convenient length
\n(iv) Divide the first unit into 10 equal parts.<\/p>\n

\u00a0To construct a scale of 3cm Equals 1dm (10cm) to read up to 4dm in centimeters.
\n<\/em>
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0Method:
\n Every 3cm drawn is equal to 1dm (10cm) of the actual object. Therefore, scale ratio = 3 : 10 or 1 : 31<\/sup>\/3<\/sub>
\n\t\t(i) Calculate the total length of the scale rule : If every 3cm on the scale rule is equivalent to 1dm,
\n\"\"\/therefore a scale rule that could read up to 4dm will have a total length equal to (3 x 4) cm i.e. 12cm
\nor 120mm.( 3<\/sup>\/10 x 40 ) = 12cm = 120mm
\n(ii) Draw a line 120mm long and divide it into 4 equal parts of 30mm units each.
\n(iii)The height of the scale rule could be any convenient length
\n(iv)Divide the first unit into 10 equal parts.
\nTo construct a scale of 11<\/sup>\/2<\/sub> times full size to read up to 8cm in millimeters
\n<\/em>
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0Method:
\n Scale ratio = 11<\/sup>\/2 <\/sub><\/em>x 1 (full size = 1:1)
\n(i) Draw a line of length equal to (11<\/sup>\/2<\/sub><\/em>x 8) cm i.e 12cm or 120mm and divide it into 8 equal parts.
\n(ii) The height of the scale rule could be any convenient length.
\n(iii) Divide the first unit into 10 equal parts.
\n\"\"\/
\n\t\tTo construct a scale of 1<\/sup>\/3 <\/sub>to read up to 4dm in centimeters.

\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0Method:
\n 1<\/sup>\/3<\/sub><\/em> in this case, means to divide 1dm into three equal parts.
\n(i) Draw a line 1dm long and divide it into 3 equal parts, each of which will represent 1dm on the scale.
\n(ii) Step off one of these parts to give the required 4dm
\n(iii) The height of the scale rule could be any convenient length.
\n(iv) Divide the first unit into 10 equal parts.<\/p>\n
