Question

b. will a scale drawing where 1 cm represents 2 m be larger or smaller than this drawing?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the scale

The given scale is 1 cm represents 2 m. A larger - scale drawing has a greater ratio of the drawing size to the actual size.

Step2: Compare with a reference

A 1:1 scale means the drawing is the same size as the actual object. Here, the scale is 1 cm:2 m or 1 cm:200 cm (since 1 m = 100 cm). A smaller - scale drawing means that more of the actual object is represented by a smaller length on the drawing.

Answer:

The scale drawing where 1 cm represents 2 m is a smaller - scale drawing compared to a 1:1 scale drawing. So it is smaller.
