Draw a scale of 1:50 showing meters & decimeters & to measure up to 8 meters. Show the length of 5.4 m on it.

Draw a scale of 1:50 showing meters & decimeters & to measure up to 8 meters.  Show the length of 5.4 m on it. 
Sol) Given data: 

 RF   = 1/50  Max Length (ML) = 8 m; (no. of parts of scale (n) =8 parts)  Length of scale (LOS) = RF X ML       =  (1/50) x 8 x 100 cm (1 m=100 cm)     = 16 cm. 


The length of the line that is drawn on the drawing sheet is 16 cm
