Reproducing a scale drawing at a difierent scale The figure below was made with a scale of 1 unit \( =3 \mathrm{~m} \). Draw the figure with a new scale of 1 unit \( =9 \mathrm{~m} \). You can place your figure anywhere on the grid on the right.

To create a new scale drawing using the scale of 1 unit = 9 m, you need to consider that you’re increasing the scale from 1 unit = 3 m. For each original measurement in your first drawing, convert it to the new scale by multiplying the length by 3 (since \(9 \, \text{m} \div 3 \, \text{m} = 3\)). For example, if a line was originally 2 units long, in the new scale it will represent a length equivalent to 6 units. Just remember, as you scale up, to maintain the shapes and proportions! While transitioning to a new scale, be vigilant of common errors! One frequent mistake is forgetting to adjust all dimensions uniformly, which might lead to distorted shapes. This can happen, for instance, if you only scale the height or width and not both. Always double-check your multiplied values and ensure you've shifted every part of your drawing accordingly, keeping the relationships intact to avoid any sizing mishaps!
