1. Measuring on an orthophoto, you find that the width of a five-lane freeway is 0.2 inches. Assuming that each lane in the free
Orlov [11]

Answer:

The representative fraction of photo will be 1:3600

Explanation:

Orthophoto is constructed geometrically where there is no distortion unlike maps.

The width of a five lane freeway is 0.2 inches.

Assuming the width of each lane to be 12 feet, then the total width of all the five lanes is 12×5=60 feet

We know that 1 feet = 12 inches

So, 60 feet = 60×12= 720 inches

So , we get that 0.2 inches on the orthophoto is 720 inches on the ground.

So, 1 inch on the orthophoto = \frac{720}{0.2}=3600 inches on the ground = 3600 inches.

Thus the scale is 1:3600

How would you describe the shape of chile? What problems might this shape create for chile's government?
boyakko [2]
Chile is stretched on the North-South Axis, but very thin on the East-West axis, or in other words: it's very long and very narrow.

Some problems connected to this are based on the large cost of transportation: the distances between the cities are very large and in fact, the southern part of Chile is only reachable from Argentina by land.
