any ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not really :(

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well blueprints are one type of scale drawing. You don't want to draw the whole house at its actual size on a piece of paper. The paper would be huge. So you scale it down with the proper proportions. Maps are another type of scale drawing

oh ok

A different example is the depiction of a plant cell, which would need to scaled up, so the details can be seen.
