8 stepslet's tackle these questions.
A) Geography/Navigation
Part i
State the location of D
From the diagram, point D is located at South latitude and East longitude.
The location of D is .
Part ii
What is the difference in longitude between C and B?
Identify the longitudes of C and B.
Point C is at W longitude.
Point B is at W longitude.Calculate the difference in longitude.
Since both points are at the same longitude, the difference is .
The difference in longitude between C and B is .
Part iii
Calculate the length of the circle of latitude S
Use the formula for the circumference of a parallel of latitude.
The radius of the Earth is .
The latitude is .
The length of the circle of latitude is given by .Substitute the given values and calculate.
Given and .
The length of the circle of latitude S is .
Part iv· 4 steps
Calculate the distance between B and D along the latitude S
Assumption: Point B is at N, W, which is not on latitude S. It is assumed the question meant to ask for the distance between points C and D along latitude S, as both C and D are on this latitude.
Identify the locations of C and D and their common latitude.
Point C: S, W
Point D: S, E
Common latitude S.Calculate the difference in longitude ().
Since one point is West and the other is East, add their longitudes.
Apply the formula for distance along a parallel of latitude.
The distance is given by .
Substitute the values and calculate.
.
