The scale factor for the given diagram is \dfrac{4}{3}.

The actual area is 27\ \mathrm{units^2}.

The scale drawing area is 48\ \mathrm{units^2}.

The ratio is 9:16.

Solution

Let's take a look at two diagrams. The two diagrams are similar and the ratio of their corresponding side is 3:4.

The actual area is the area of the left triangle, so it is 27\ \mathrm{units^2}.

The scale drawing area is the area of the right triangle, so it is 48\ \mathrm{units^2}.

Comparing the area of triangles, we see that the ratio of their area is 9:16.

Scale Factor

If scale factor > 1, the drawing is magnified.

If scale factor = 1, the drawing is equivalent.

If 0 < scale factor < 1, the drawing is reduced.

Scale Factor and the Area

The ratio of a shape to its scale drawing is the square of their ratio. For example, in this question scale ratio is 3:4, and the area ratio is 9:16.
