Importance of Scale Factor and Knowledge Have you ever wondered how machinists, carpenters and other skilled tradespeople can create full-scale objects from tiny blueprints? Or wondered how close a model ship or airplane looks to the real thing? Knowing about the scale factor can help you to better understand these topics. Before you begin this lesson, you will want to recall two math terms: similar figures and ratio. Two geometric figures are similar if their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are proportional. A ratio is a fraction which compares two quantities. This picture shows two similar 4-sided figures.
