1. Construct a plain scale of 1.5 inches = 1 foot to show feet and inches and long enough to measure up
to 4 feet. Measure a distance 2 feet 10 inches on it.
2. On a map, the distance between two points is 14 cm. The real distance between them is 20 km. Draw
a diagonal scale of this map to read kilometres and hectometres, and to measure up to 25 km. Show a
distance of 17.6 kilometers on this scale.
3. A cube of 5 cm side shows a tank of 8000 m3 volume. Find the R.F. and construct a diagonal scale to
measure up to 70 m and mark a distance of 53.5 m on it.
4. Construct a vernier scale to read metres, decimetres and long enough to measure up to 6 m when 1 m
is represented by 2.5 cm. Find the RF and show on it a distance of 4.33 m.
5. The distance between two towns is 120 km. A passenger train covers this distance in 4 hrs. Construct
comparative scale to measure the distance covered by the train in a single minute and up to 1 hr. The
R.F. of the scale is 1:200000. Show the distance covered by the train in 36 minutes.
6. Construct a scale of chords showing 5o divisions and with its aid set off angles of 112o, 165o and 215o.
