A scale drawing represents the object at a manageable size while preserving its proportions. Maps use the same idea to represent large areas.
A representation in which every length is enlarged or reduced by the same scale factor.

An accurate representation in which every drawn length has the same proportional relationship to the corresponding actual length.
Revise: Scale and BearingsA scale drawing reduces every length by the same proportion, preserving the shape and allowing actual measurements to be represented on paper. Maps, building plans and scale diagrams all use this idea.
