Pre-Algebra
7-8 Scale Models
Very large and very small objects are often modeled. A scale model is a three-dimensional model that accurately represents a solid object. The scale model is mathematically similar to the solid object.
A scale gives the ratio of the dimensions of the model to the actual dimensions.

Tell whether each scale reduces, enlarges, or preserves the size of the actual object.
A. 1 in:1 yd
Additional Example 1A: Analyzing and Classifying Scale Factors
1 in.1 yd
= 1 in.36 in.
= Convert: 1 yd = 36 in. Simplify.
The scale reduces the size of the actual object by a
factor of . 136

A model of 32 ft tall house was made using the scale 3 in:2 ft. What is the height of the model?
Additional Example 3: Finding Unknown Dimensions Given Scale Factors
First find the scale factor.
The scale factor for the model is . Now set up a proportion.
18
3 in.2 ft
= 3 in.24 in.
= 1 in.8 in.
= 18
384 = 8h
Convert: 32 ft = 384 in.
Cross multiply.
48 = h
The height of the model is 48 in.Solve for the height.
18
= h in.384 in.

A model of 24 ft tall bridge was made using the scale 4 in:2 ft. What is the height of the model?
Try This: Example 3
First find the scale factor.
The scale factor for the model is . Now set up a proportion.
16
4 in.2 ft
= 4 in.24 in.
= 1 in.6 in.

A DNA model was built using the scale 5 cm: 0.0000001 mm. If the model of the DNA chain is 20 cm long, what is the length of the actual chain? Find the scale factor.
Additional Example 4: Life Science Application
The scale factor for the model is 500,000,000. This means the model is 500 million times larger than the actual chain.
5 cm 0.0000001 mm
