Andru [333]

$Change\ all\ dimensions\ to\ the\ same\ unit. \\ \\ \\ \\ 4cm==\textgreater\ 400\ mm$ $Work\ out\ the\ Scale\ factor, \\ \\ \\ \\ Scale\ factor= { \frac{Scaled\ dimension\ (same\ side)}{Actual\ dimension\ (same\ side)} } \\ \\ = { \frac{400}{8} } \\ \\ = 50$
$1\ mm\ on\ actual= 50\ mm\ on\ scaled. \\ \\ 2\ mm\ represents\ 1\ cm\ on\ scaled.$
