Farmers often plant crops in circular areas because one if the most efficient watering systems for crops provides water in a circular area. Passengers takes an aerial photo of a field on which a circular crop area has been planted. He prints the photo out and notes that 2 centimeters of length in the photo corresponds to 100 meters in actual height.
1. What is the scale factor of the actual farm to the photo?
(A.) 1 to 50
(B.) 1 to 98
(C.) 1 to 56
(D.) 1 to 65

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation: Scale Factor is defined as a ratio between the actual figure to that of the other figure.

And as it is clearly given in the question that 2 cm of length corresponds to 100 meters so the ratio comes out to be 1:50.

So the scale factor of the actual farm to the photo is A that is 1 to 50.
