Using the same method of calculation a 1 50 scale is simple representing an object and or subject 50 times smaller that its real size.
													
																	Simple floor plan scale 1 100. 
									
	
		
	
																	On a floor plan drawn at a scale 1 100 the area of a rectangular room is 30cm 2. 
																	5 2 m 5 2 100 520 cm 4 8 m 4 8 100 480 cm then convert by scaling 520 cm 1 100 5 2 cm 480 cm 1 100 4 8 cm so we have to draw a room of 5 2 x 4 8 cm. 
																	Larger scales such as 1 1000 are used for block or city planning and scales like 1 10000 and 1 100000 are used for ordinance survey maps. 
																	Scale 1 100 1cm on your plan denotes 1 meter in reality. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Scale1 50 1cm on your plan denotes 50 cm in reality. 
																	What is the actual area of the room. 
																	Measuring within the nearest 1 4 or even 1 2 foot of outside walls is probably sufficient. 
																	The image above shows an example of a drawing set with different scales to demonstrate different aspects of the design. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Determine the level of accuracy required. 
																	What does a 1 20 scale mean. 
																	First we can convert the unit from meter to centimeter. 
																	You may want to represent a site plan at a scale of 1 500 but perhaps show floor plans at 1 100 for example. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Scale floor plans aid the design process and can really help you visualize things such as the ideal furniture layout. 
																	This consequently is 50 larger than a 1 100 scale. 
																	Most commonly used scales are. 
																	Each meter in the drawing refers to a length of 100 actual meters in the building s physical layout. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Problem from my teas workbook that has an explanation but isn t very detailed in explaining the answer. 
																	Creating a floor plan to scale can be as simple as taking accurate measurements with a tape measure then using a pencil and graph paper to scale down your results. 
																	A room of 5 2 meters by 4 8 meters what is the scale size for the building plan at scale 1 100. 
																	The same goes for a 1 20 scale which when used represents a subject at a size 20 times smaller than its real word dimensions. 
															
													
									
	
		
	
																	Smaller scales such as 1 5 or 1 40 may be used for detailed component drawings or floor planning.
