The distance covered by an aerial photograph is determined by both the focal length of the camera and the tilt of the camera from the perpendicular to the ground. A camera lens with a 6-in focal length has an angular coverage of 86°. Suppose an aerial photograph is taken vertically with no tilt at an altitude of 3700 ft over ground with an increasing slope of 8°, as shown in the figure. Calculate the ground distance CB that would appear in the resulting photograph. A ground distance of ft would appear in the photograph. (Round to the nearest hundred as needed.) 86° 80 B
