The vertical exaggeration of the cross section between A and B is 1:4000.
How to calculate the vertical exaggeration?
From the information, the given scale is 1cm:40m. We'll convert 40m to cm. This will be:
= 40 × 100 = 4000cm
Therefore, the vertical exaggeration is 1:4000.
The distance on the photo is 5.2cm and the distance on the map is 3.4cm. Therefore z the photo scale will be:
= 5.2:3.4.
= 52/34
= 26:17
= 1:0.6538
Lastly, the distance on the map will be:
5.2cm:(50000 × 5.2)
5.2cm:260000cm.
5.2cm:2.6km
The distance on the map is 2.6km.
