L= l(1-le)*s = 20(1-.6)*200= 1600m = 1.6 km
W=:20(1-.3)*200= 2800m= 2.8km
A = L * W = 1.6* 2.8= 4.48 km^.

L=I(1-le)/s'.
L=I(1-le)/y200.
L= 1600m=1.6km.
Ground distance covered by photograph in transverse direction

W= w(1-ls)/s
W=20(1-0.3)/y200
= 2800m=2.8km.

Then area covered by one photograph.
A= LxW, = 1.6*2.8 = 4.48km2.
