Question

Describe how to find the scale factor if an antenna is 60 feet long and a scale drawing shows the length as 1 foot long. Please Help Me.. :(

Answer 1

The actual is 60 feet long, the drawing is only 1 foot long. So the scale factor must be 1/60. You know that the scale factor has to be less than one in this case because you're going from a bigger measurement to a smaller measurement(60 to 1).
