What does a 1 50 scale mean?
Metric scales
For example, the scale of 1:50 means that 1 mm on the drawing represents 50 mm on the object. This means that the object is 50 times larger than the drawing of it. An object 450 mm long would be represented by a line 9 mm long (450 mm/50).
How to calculate scale 1:50?
The length on the drawing is 9 cm, and the scale is 1:50. This means that 1 cm on the drawing is equal to 50 cm in real life. So to find out what 9 cm is in real life, you need to multiply it by 50: 9 × 50 = 450 cm.
How big is the 1 to 50 scale?
There are many other scales for the models, particularly earthmoving equipment and trucks which are typically 1/50 scale, and as the real machines of such models are quite large, a 1/50 scale model of such machines could be in the range of 20 to 40 cm long.
What is the scale 1 50 to cm?
So, if a drawing is at 1:50 in cm, 1cm in the drawing will be equal to 50cm in real life.
First, we convert the unit from millimeter to centimeter. 18.6 mm = 18.8 ÷ 10 = 1.86 cm. Then, convert by scaling 1.86 cm × 50 ÷ 1 = 93 cm. So the actual ...
