Help with scale drawings on grid paper??

Question

I need to Create a scale drawing of each item on grid paper as a net drawing. The scale ratio should be 10 m = 1 cm on the grid paper. Label the net using the actual measurements of the real life structure, not the scale measurements.

I needed to Select a pyramid and a prism and here they are

Yebisu Garden Place Tower (rectangular prism)

Side=55m x 70m

Height= 165m

Khafre Pyramid (square pyramid)

Side= 215m

Height=145m

My question is how do you and can you show me how to draw these figures on a grid paper?.. i'm stuck..can you help?

Answer 1

you have the paper in front of you, I don't.

Draw them to scale. if something is 55 meters, and your scale factor is 10m/1cm (=1000:1), then draw a line 55 mm long.

If the object is 165 m, draw it 165 mm long.

Expect to use up a lot of paper until you get it.

Answer 2

If the grid paper has squares 1 cm on a side, then it's simple.

10 m --> 1 cm = 1 square

55 m --> 5.5 cm = 5.5 squares

70 m --> 7 cm = 7 squares

165 m --> 16.5 cm = 16.5 squares

215 m --> 21.5 cm = 21.5 squares

145 m --> 14.5 cm = 14.5 squares
