PRERETROSPECT #15 THE MATHEMATICS - PART TWO

The next step was then to create an A1 scale of the net and axis, to correspond with the aerial view of the farm created. This was done in the same way the smaller nets were created. As I manually plotted the coordinates and connected them in order, I was also measuring the distance on the A1 version travelled e.g. 1 - 2 = 4cm. This means that I can correctly scale up the distances to real life later, as well as working out the distance between each photo - both on the A1 version, and real life.

DISTANCE BETWEEN PHOTO POINTS ON A1 MAP


FORMULA:

DISTANCE BETWEEN COORDINATES     /     NO. PHOTOS NEEDED BETWEEN    =   A
ON A1 MAP (CM)                                            THE SAME COORDINATES
