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 = inches on the ground = 3600 inches.
Thus the scale is 1:3600
