If two points are 10 cm apart on the map they are 10 cm × 5000 apart in real life. 10 cm × 5000 = 50000 cm. 50000 cm = 500 m. Example: A map has a scale 1:20000. The actual distance between two towns is 12km. Find the distance between the two towns on the map. Give your answer in cm.
How to use this scale converter. Set the scale ratio according your need, eg 1:12, 1:32, 64:1; Select the unit of real length and scale length; Using different units will automatically convert the result; Enter the number of real length, the scale length will be calculated automatically.
To scale an object to a larger size, you simply multiply each dimension by the required scale factor. For example, if you would like to apply a scale factor of 1:6 and the length of the item is 5 cm, you simply multiply 5 × 6 = 30 cm to get the new dimension.
The calculator uses the formula: Scaled Length = Original Length / Scale. For example, if your original length is 100 cm and your scale is 1:50, the scaled length will be calculated as 100 / 50 = 2 cm.
Step One: Use the Scale Factor Formula. Since the scale factor is a ratio, the first step to finding it is to use the following formula: scale factor = scaled size / real size. So, the scale factor is a ratio of the scaled size to the real size. Step Two: Simplify the Fraction. The next step is to reduce or simplify the fraction.
Simply enter the amount, unit (defaults to cm) and scale (defaults to 1/1) to convert from and select the units and scale to convert to. Click the button and the result will be displayed instantly. You can also use the second calculator to find the scale of an item.
