How to use this calculator

  1. Enter actual length in m.
  2. Enter scale denominator in ratio.
  3. Select Calculate and keep the output unit with the answer.

Before you use the answer

Start with a dimensioned sketch and label the units beside every measurement. Distinguish the outer edge from an internal opening, and distinguish a radius from a diameter. A geometric model is most useful when the shape actually matches the assumptions in the formula.

This converts real metres to model centimetres. Area and volume use squared and cubed scale factors.

Why might a result be approximate?

Measurement uncertainty, ideal-model assumptions and floating-point rounding can all matter. Displaying more digits does not improve the original measurement.
