Worksheet 2.3 Magnication calculations

1 magnification = image size actual size
= 36 9 = 4
2 actual size = image size magnification
= 80 4 = 20 mm
3 image size = magnification actual size
= 5 62 = 310 mm
4 45 mm = 45 1000 m = 45 000 m
magnification = image size actual size
= 45 000 100 = 450
5 15 mm = 15 1000 m = 15 000 m
actual size = image size magnification
= 15 000 1500 = 10 m
6 72 mm = 72 1000 m = 72 000 m
magnification = image size actual size
= 72 000 0.9 = 80 000
