Measurement Skills for Floor Plans
📚 Help Sheet - Floor Plan Measurement Guide
🔢 Units of Measurement
Converting units:
• 1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm) = 1000 millimetres (mm)
• To convert cm to m: divide by 100
• To convert mm to m: divide by 1000
📏 Reading Scales
Scale format: 1:50 means 1 cm on the plan = 50 cm in real life
To find actual size: Measure on plan × scale number
Example: 1:100 scale, 3 cm on plan = 3 × 100 = 300 cm = 3 m actual
📐 Key Formulas
Perimeter (rectangle): P = 2 × (length + width)
Area (rectangle): A = length × width
Area (square): A = side × side
🏠 Common Floor Plan Symbols
━━ Wall (thick black line)
⌐ ⌐ Window (gap in wall)
⌒ Door swing (arc)
═══ Sliding door (parallel lines)
💡 Tips for Success
• Always check your units - are you working in cm, m, or mm?
