Actual length of the Bridge = 8983.33 feet.

The scale is 1 unit = 19,600.

Height of the postcard is 3.5 inches.

So, original height of the bridge = 3.5 × 19,600 = 68,600 inches

= 5716.67 feet

Width of the postcard is 5.5 inches.

So, original width of the bridge = 5.5 × 19,600 = 107,800 inches

= 8983.33 feet

                                                       = 5716.67 feet

Width of the postcard is 5.5 inches.

So, original width of the bridge = 5.5 × 19,600 = 107,800 inches
