The area is growing rapidly; this year twice as many homes will be built there as last year. To illustrate that fact, the developer draws a pictogram (a symbol representing an object or concept by illustration), as shown in Fig. The house on the left represents the number of homes built last year. Because the number of homes that will be built this year is double the number built last year, the developer makes the house on the right twice as tall and twice as wide as the house on the left. However, this improper scaling gives the visual impression that four times as many homes will be built this year as last. Thus the developer’s brochure may mislead the unwary investor.
