Q: Which of the following is a characteristic feature of an engineer's scale?
  • A. It is used primarily for drawing curved lines
  • B. It includes both metric and imperial units
  • C. It is used for angle measurements
  • D. It measures time intervals
Correct Answer: Option B - Engineer's scale– In an Engineer's scale, the scale of a map or drawing is the proportion which every distance on the map or drawing bears to the corresponding distance on the ground. Example- 1 cm = 10 m. • This means, 1 cm on the drawing represents 10 m on the ground, the scale of the map is 10 m to 1 m. • It includes both metric and imperial units.
