Farmers often plant crops in circular areas because one of the most efficient watering systems for crops provides water in a circular area. Passengers in airplanes often notice the distinct circular patterns as they fly over land used for farming. A photographer takes an aerial photo of a field on which a circular crop area has been planted. He prints the photo out and notes that 2 centimeters of length in the photo corresponds to 100 meters in actual length.
a. What is the scale factor of the actual farm to the photo?
