2.1.5 Calculate the linear magnification of drawings and the actual size of specimens in images known as magnification. (use an example or explain how to)

How To:

            1.Take a measurement of the drawing (width or length)

            2.Take same measurement of the specimen

            3.Convert units if needed

            4.Place your values into the equation

            5.Magnification=length of drawing/length of actual specimen

            *You can also calculate the length of the specimen if it is unknown: length of the                   drawing/magnification
