What is scale factor?

Scale factor is the factor which is used to enlarge or smaller the original figure.

Scale factor is the ratio of representation measurement of the figure to the original figures.

Christina drew a scale model of an Olympic-size swimming pool using a scale in which 3 centimeters represents 10 meters.

Thus, the scale factor is for cm to m,

$r=\dfrac{3}{10}\rm$

The length of the pool in her drawing is 15 centimeters. Let the length of the actual pool is x cm. Thus,

$\dfrac{15}{x}=\dfrac{3}{10}\\x=50\rm \; m$

Thus, the actual length of the Olympic-size swimming pool which is drawn by Christina on the scale model is 50 meters.
