To calculate the scale multiplier:
\[ SM = \frac{SD}{OD} \]
Where:
A scale multiplier is a factor by which an object’s size is increased or decreased to create a new scaled object. It is commonly used in various fields such as architecture, engineering, and cartography to represent large objects or distances in a smaller, more manageable size. The scale multiplier allows for accurate representation of the original object’s proportions in the scaled version.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ SM = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \]
The scale multiplier is 2.
