 C03M010
Bitmaps file size (uncompressed) = Image width × Image height × Colour depth

Calculate the colour depth of a photo with specifications as follows: (pg.67) (pg. 47 conversion of MB to
KB to bits)
Width: 1,024 pixels
Height: 768 pixels
File size: 0.75 MB
A. 8 bits
B. 16 bits
C. 24 bits
D. 32 bits

Answer: A
0.75 MB X 1024 KB/MB X 1024 B/KB X 8 bits/B = 6291456 bits
6291456 = 1024 x 768 x Depth
8 bits = Depth
