GEOG 226 - Spatial Data & Analysis

Notices & Events

assume a quiz for each class

 

Formulas /Conversions provided on final exam :)

Conversions:

  • 1 inch = 2.54 cm

  • 1 metre = 3.28 ft

  • 1 mile = 63,360 inches

 

Formulas:

  • a2 + b2 = c2

  • ArcTAN(ratio) = slope°

  • TAN(slope°) = slope ratio

  • HD = SD * COS(slope°)

  • elevation difference = HD * slope%

    • i.e. elev. diff. = 20m * 50% = 10m

 

What you should know:

  • map scale = map / real world

  • photo scale = photo / real world = f / H

  • interpolation = partial / full

  • metric conversions ( mm --> cm --> m --> km)

  • how to rearrange HD = SD * COS(slope°) and solve for SD

    • SD = HD / COS(slope°)

  • how to solve for a grade line and plot it on a map
